Popular around Revierpark Vonderort
On the occasion of the 1997 Federal Garden Show, a 100-hectare fallow area on the Nordstern colliery site was transformed into an impressive park landscape in just a few years. The extensive grounds along the Rhine-Herne Canal invite you to stroll, cycle, and run today. With children's and adventure playgrounds, an experience-oriented farm, a ship landing stage, gastronomy, and its amphitheater with an open-air stage, the park offers numerous leisure opportunities. The heart of the former colliery site and its landmark is the Nordstern Tower with its monumental statue "Hercules of Gelsenkirchen" on the tower roof. The landmark has 18 floors and, with its visitor terrace at an altitude of around 83 meters, offers an unobstructed view into the expanses of the park, the city, and the Ruhr Metropolis.

A first-class Ruhr area highlight. The top surface could be made more bike-friendly in some places (not just coarse gravel that "had to go").
