The Kahlenbergwehr is the preliminary stage for the hydroelectric power plant on the Ruhr island. Conveniently, a walking and cycling path leads across the weir and from the top you have a magnificent view of the Ruhr and the green nature of the Ruhrauen.

Saarn Monastery

Highlight • Religious Site

Today, Saarn Monastery no longer offers refuge to monks and nuns, but opens its doors to anyone who is interested. History you can touch is presented in the cellar vaults, while the outdoor area is more contemplative. Here you can imagine what the medieval monastery garden looked like or, like the bee colonies settled here, enjoy the numerous flowers and herbs that grow here. Numerous events take place in the monastery throughout the summer, so it's worth taking a look at the website: museum-kloster-saarn.de
