피닉스시 주변 최고의 도시 하이킹 & 워킹 코스

Today I strolled around the lake in crisp cold weather and bright sunshine.

Phoenix Lake invites visitors to stroll and wander, the lakeside promenade offers a diverse range of restaurants and cafes, and the three-kilometer path around the lake is well-developed for pedestrians and cyclists. Besides the cultural island and the wine trail, there is much more to discover.

Beautiful lake, many people

Phoenix Lake in Dortmund is a man-made lake in the Hörde district, created on the former site of the Phoenix-Ost steelworks. After the steelworks was closed in 2001, the site was remediated and flooded in 2010 to create a new residential and recreational area. The lake covers approximately 24 hectares and is surrounded by a 3.2-kilometer circular path for pedestrians and cyclists. From the Kaiserberg dump to the east, there is a magnificent view of the recreational and new development area.

Phoenixsee is a modern recreational area in the Dortmund district of Hörde, created from a former steelworks site. Today, the artificial lake provides a picturesque backdrop. Cafés, restaurants, and green spaces along the shore invite you to linger.

Not particularly beautiful, but practical for walking from the Phoenix West industrial complex to Westfalenpark.

This industrial monument is worth a visit. Unfortunately, the central towers are fenced off. However, you can walk around some of the other former buildings. You can really feel the atmosphere of the industrial age.

The 3.10-meter-high concrete sculpture HANSE, designed in 2014 by the artist collective More Than Words in collaboration with X-Moves, stands at the end of Brüderweg near the pylon of the Reinoldikirche/Konzerthaus. It is characterized by a vertically staggered form reminiscent of stylized letters and inviting to climb – a deliberately interactive work of art with climbing elements, sprayed with graffiti as a homage to urban culture. Architecturally, HANSE creates an exciting connection to its location: placed on Brüderweg Boulevard, it fits into the urban ensemble of Kampstraße, the pylon, and the Christmas market lighting. The colorful surface deliberately contrasts with the surrounding gray and symbolically references Dortmund's Hanseatic past, as the temporary light installation of the Hanseatic cog demonstrates. As part of Dortmund's "Art in Public Space" (inventory number 44135-051), the work combines robust concrete sculpture with a youthful street art aesthetic and a climbing function – it invites playful interaction while simultaneously making history tangible. Children and passersby enjoy climbing it, bringing HANSE to life and interweaving everyday life with art.
