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.

Pöppinghauser Wald nature reserve

Highlight • Natural

The view from the directly adjacent canal path offers a great view of a wetland with fascinating development of nature and is a spectacle that is not particularly often encountered here in the Ruhr area.

Pöppinghauser Wald Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

From the higher riverside path of the Rhein-Herne-Kanal you have a wonderful view of the extensive Bergsenkungs- and nature reserve Pöppinghäuser forest. On extensive water surfaces, numerous species of birds can be observed.

Rhine-Herne Canal - Start of the KLT

Highlight • River

Every canal in Europe is easy to navigate. In Germany, they are under the control of the shipping authorities. There are so-called "commercial routes of the authority" along the canals everywhere.

The König Ludwig route is nearby. The route that has been completed so far starts in the south at the "Herner Meer", the port and lock area on the Rhine-Herne Canal in Castrop-Rauxel. It goes from the Rhine-Herne Canal (in Herne) on a former railway line to Recklinghausen Suderwich to the König Ludwig mine. The railway line is to be extended to Oer-Erkenschwick.

Herner Meer

Highlight • Lake

The service roads on both sides of the canal and the Herner Meer are great for mountain bikes and trekking bikes. A nice recreational opportunity and a good section for cycling and hiking tours.

Herne East Lock

Highlight • Structure

Impressive technical structure, which can be easily observed in its function if you have some time. In the upper reaches of the canal behind the lock you can see how much the water level is higher than the surrounding landscape due to subsidence due to coal extraction.

Strünkede Castle and Emschertal Museum

Highlight • Castle

Places like these remind us that there was a history in the Ruhr area before coal and steel, one that has very different associations than the 100 years or so of industrial use and development, which is now largely history itself.
