Former colliery railway bridge over the Lippe

Highlight • Bridge

The coal extracted was transported over this bridge to the colliery port on the Wesel-Datteln Canal. In 2019 it was renovated and serves as a connection between the districts of Hervest and Feldmark for pedestrians and cyclists.

Hervester Schwall (Lippe River Rapids)

Highlight • River

The otherwise calmly flowing lip has clear waves there. You can see them from the bridge. You can only really experience the waves when you go down to the river bank. So get off the bike and continue on foot.

Bahntassen Velo Trail (Brassert Colliery – Old Ore Railway), Marl

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

North of downtown Marl, this path connects the districts Brassert and Drewer. At the same time route for district heating and gas pipeline, which owes its existence to the road.
