Hattingen historically: Large, rusty, in rank and file - and a naked excitement - the iron men!

The 2.40 meter tall behemoths with cast-iron minds and rusted muscles caused a lot of excitement. As early as June 1996, a poem hung on the best part of a sculpture: "Women see with displeasure that the next time it rains, the noble part will have to be de-rusted..."
The question of when the man is a man flared up and, last but not least, the indignation boiled over whether that was all that had to be, in the meantime one or the other man here has been emasculated (sculpture).
The sculptures have been here since 1996.

Henrich Pond

Highlight • Lake

There is standing water to the south of the site of the disused Henrichshütte in Hattingen, in a beautiful park for walking and relaxing. Benches by the pond invite you to linger, and many waterfowl can be observed here.

Hattingen Railway Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

This Ruhr bridge is located in Hattingen. Here the S-Bahn goes to Bochum / Essen.
It's difficult to get over by bike, but there are about 5 m steps on the other side.

Weir and Lock at Birschel Mill (Hattingen)

Highlight (Segment) • River

The RUHR is scenically one of the most beautiful German rivers. It is framed by meadows and wooded hills. The Ruhr is now also one of the cleanest German industrial rivers, with hardly anything left of heavy industry and collieries.

Ruhr Waterfalls at Hattingen

Highlight • Waterfall

It's worth getting off your bike here and listening to the rushing of the Ruhr for a while. Two small but wide steps ensure that the water of the Ruhr falls from one basin to the next at this point. The waterfalls offer a beautiful backdrop for a short rest.

First hike of the year – Hattingen, you surprised us!
Finally, the time had come: Our first hike of the year! Together with our faithful four-legged friend, the mutt, we set off for Hattingen to explore the area around the Ruhr River. The weather in March was at its April best – small clouds, large clouds, thick clouds, thin clouds, …

Very nice tour in the best hiking weather. The Indian restaurant Haveli was truly a discovery. By the way, there is a wool shop nearby... for the wool hikers among us! ;)
