Angry ant (permanently closed)

Highlight • Restaurant

At the Hexenbaptism, formerly a wild steep bank at the Ruhrknick, there is a tourist restaurant called "Angry Ant". The property used to belong to the farmer Schulte-Staade. Kaspar Mann established his glassworks here in 1778. Kaspar Mann had also negotiated that he could run a brewery on the side. The brewery was very successful, but the glassworks was converted into a restaurant. The first landlady wasn't exactly what the guest found friendly; she is said to have been very irritable and so she soon got her nickname: "Toxic Migampel. And that was transferred to the restaurant in High German: "Angry Ant"

St. Anne's Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Anne's Chapel, dating back to the early 18th century, stands in a beautiful valley setting, but to reach it, you have to leave the usual Grugastrasse. Every year on July 26th – St. Anne's Day – the people of Rellinghausen celebrate the St. Anne's Day. On this day, St. Anne's Chapel is the center of an ancient church celebration, commemorating the theft of the host that occurred in the Rellinghausen Collegiate Church in 1516 and atoning for the desecration of the sacrament. In 2016, the festival was celebrated for the 500th time...

St. Anna Chapel (Essen-Rellinghausen)

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Anne's Festival goes back to a special religious event that took place in 1516. On the feast of St. James, the original patron saint of the church in Rellinghausen, hosts that had already been consecrated were stolen and contemptuously thrown into a thorny hedge bush at the site of the Anne Chapel, which was built later - an unseemly outrage even today. Luckily, a shepherd discovered the hosts by chance and brought them back to the parish church the following day, the feast day of St. Anne, the grandmother of Jesus or the mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Marriage Proposal Tunnel (Gönterstraße)

Highlight • Structure

Without this tunnel you would have to take long detours ... here the S-Bahn is still overhead, a kilometer further it has dug into the landscape so that we walk over a bridge at Stadtwaldplatz, for example!

Siepental Park

Highlight • Parking

On the way back I have three kilometers of urban pavement under my feet, after that it's just through the green.
Via Elsa-Brandström-Platz, which should be called a park, I reach the allotment garden "Am Siepental" into the green gully of the same name, which runs constantly between Bergerhausen and Huttrop to the southeast.
The "Siepental" is also interesting because it is a pure pleonasm, since Siepen means nothing other than valley.
"The or the Siepen, Siefen, Seifen or Seipen [...] describes, as is typical for the region in northwestern Germany, a mostly narrow, moist, gorge-like notched valley in the low mountain range with a spring stream." (wiki)
The Raute 7 hiking trail runs through Siepen and flows into the Ruhrhöhenweg, which takes me further northeast along the green belt above the Ruhr.
