The Langeloh - In der Hemke nature reserve is a 40.20 hectare nature reserve in the southeast of Herne, it is part of the regional green belt E, which runs north-south. Due to its location in the Ruhr metropolitan region, it is important both as one of the protected areas in a densely populated area and as a recreational area. It was designated as a nature reserve in the 1990s. The Roßbach, which flows through the valley from southwest to northeast, is a defining element of the landscape. After being channeled in concrete shells for a long time, it was renaturalized in the 1980s and has since then once again provided a habitat for many aquatic organisms, such as the fire salamander.

Bladenhorst Castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle Bladenhorst dates back to the 16th century. The moated castle blends harmoniously into the landscape and the eye is delighted by this old castle complex. The surrounding area is perfect for hiking and exploring. The Rhine-Herne Canal is not far from the moated castle.

Emscher Art Trail "Walkway and Tower"

Highlight • Monument

As part of the "Emscherkunst", Tadashi Kawamata designed an observation tower in 2010, to which a kind of pier system leads. Near the water cross of Emscher and Rhein-Herne-Kanal near Castrop-Rauxel, this "sculpture" offers a beautiful view over the landscape. With the theme "Becoming and passing away" he deals with artists with the constant change and transformation of the area and the Emscher itself. With appropriate foresight the view from the tower is interesting and beautiful to look at. Nice place for a rest.
