View of the old harbor crane in Lünen
Highlight • Monument
Originally, it served as a transshipment point for the Preußen coal mine in Lünen and the Gneisenau coal mine in Dortmund-Derne. Its heyday as a coal transshipment point began in 1925, and in the mid-1960s, the port was expanded to its current dimensions. From the late 1980s onward, it declined in importance due to the closure of the coal mines. The former colliery railway line is now the "Gneisenau Trail," a cycle and hiking path that leads past the Preußen spoil heap on the other side of the railway line and on to Derne.[1]
[1] Today it is intensively used for tourism due to its proximity to the Lünen lake park and the Horstmarer See lake, for motor and leisure boats and as a water hiking rest area, as well as a landing stage for the passenger ship "Santa Monika" and as a museum.

Confluence of the Seseke and the Lippe
Highlight • River
A lot has changed at the Seseke in recent years. A new path by the water is evidence of this change. From Bönen to Lünen, the LIPPEVERBAND has created the Seseke-Weg foot and cycle path, which invites you to explore the charming landscape around and by the river.
