View of Marina Rünthe and Heil Power Plant
Highlight • Viewpoint
The Heil power plant is characterized by its tall chimney of almost 290 meters, which is visible from the Westphalian marina Marina Rünthe. Originally, the hard coal was transported directly from the neighboring Monopol mine to the power plant via a conveyor belt. Today, coal is delivered via the plant's own port on the Datteln-Hamm Canal.
In recent years, there have been plans to shut down the power plant. It was originally scheduled to be taken off the grid in 2022, but due to the energy crisis and to ensure the power supply, operations were temporarily extended. The power plant is planned to continue operating until at least spring 2024.

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.
