Vondern Castle

Highlight • Castle

Beautiful castle from the 13th century, which you "accidentally" roll past here. Always a nice change from the otherwise more industrial highlights and a nice reason for a small (photo) stop. :)

Oberhausen Lock (Rhein-Herne Canal)

Highlight • Structure

It is always a wonderful experience to see such a large ship enter the lock. Sometimes there is so little space on the left and right that it is surprising that it fits at all.
