The Völklinger Hütte is an impressive monument from the heyday of industrialization, which was rightly included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. It makes the dimensions, but also the working conditions very vivid; anyone who has not yet been to an iron or steelworks, for example in the Ruhr area, should definitely join a guided tour.

It's still a lot of fun; there are some good trails in the forest, but some need some work. A lot of trees have fallen.
