Haus Rodenberg Water Castle

Highlight • Castle

After an exploration along the Emscher, a nice destination to take a breather and have a refreshing drink.

Aperbeck City Hall (Rathaus, today Amtshaus/Bezirksamt) with a police station and a restaurant/pub integrated into the first floor, was built 1906/1907 in the retro-monumental empire style. When Aperbeck became part of Dortmund city in 1927 the building became the district office. dortmund.de/de/leben_in_dortmund/stadtbezirke/stbzportal_aplerbeck/leben_aplerbeck/bezirksportraet_apl/amtshaus

View Over Fields and Hamm

Highlight • Viewpoint

The landscape spreads out in front of us, revealing connections, contrasts and transitions: country and city, industry, agricultural land and nature. The sloping plain of the Hellwegbörden, the view of the Münsterland and the foothills of the Sauerland.
You rarely have so much overview, so many opportunities to view new destinations and plan your route.

It is the same in everyday life: we are often occupied with details, with the next day, the next step, the next task. But sometimes we also need these overview moments: Where am I right now? Where do I actually want to go? And can I take another route there that is good for me or that opens up something new? For example, making the way to work - partly - by bike? Take the stairs instead of the elevator? Or create a little space for myself, for more exercise, time with a good friend or just for myself?

Cycle Path Through the Fields Near Asseln

Highlight • Cycleway

What's the highlight/extraordinary thing here? There are countless such trails.

"Beautiful bike path" is not an objective assessment.

Subjective

Another meaningless "highlight". I have a beautiful view from everywhere on every bike tour

View of the Emscher

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Emscher is a river in the Ruhr area, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It rises in Holzwickede, east of Dortmund, and after about 83 kilometers flows into the Rhine near Dinslaken. Historically, the Emscher was of great importance for the industrial development of the Ruhr area. However, as a result of mining, it was used as an open sewer for many decades, which led to significant environmental problems.

Since the 1990s, however, the Emscher has been the subject of one of the largest renaturation projects in Europe. This project, known as the "Emscher conversion", aims to clear the river of sewage and return it to a near-natural state. The renaturation of the Emscher is not only important from an ecological point of view, but also has a positive influence on the quality of life of the residents and contributes to the upgrading of the region.

The Emscher is therefore an example of the change from an industrially used waterway to a natural and livable river that shapes the landscape of the Ruhr area.

Between the Emscher and the New Kaiserberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the end of the Phoenixsee - below the bridge - there is a small artificial beach. The beach chairs and the piled-up sand can actually give you a holiday feeling if the bridge wasn't directly above it.

Phoenix Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Phoenix Lake was only opened in 2011, but is no longer an insider tip, especially on nice days. Only around four kilometers as the crow flies from Dortmund city center, it is stress-free and idyllic. Around the lake, ultra-smooth asphalt beckons to get on the pedals.
