Nature is reclaiming its territory

Highlight • Viewpoint

I live near Pluto and Thyssenhalde. At the Thyssenhalde in particular, it is nice to see how the pioneer plants in particular colonize the dump.
It blooms abundantly there, especially in late summer

What a Whitsun weekend! Not a single hour without heavy rain. The dogs still have to go outside, and nothing's keeping me on the couch.

I recently bought the book "Green Happiness Spots in the Ruhr Area." It lists and describes 80 tours and green spots throughout the Ruhr area. The Pluto mine was number 40. A bit short, but …
