Small viewpoint over the Emscherland. The gravel paths are easy to ride with a gravel bike.

Simply beautiful, what the Emscher has become in the meantime. Almost like the transformation from the ugly duckling to the proud swan.

The most beautiful view of the newly renaturalized section can be had from the Kawamata Tower.

I think it's very worthwhile to look at the pictures as well. Here you can see railway and mining history.
