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.

Goodbye to old bottlenecks and mud pits 😃 Finally a reasonable way to get through and no more dodging through the parking lot. The former private road has been widened and properly repaired.

Emscher Upper Course Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

The Emscher as a wastewater-free river. What seemed unthinkable two generations ago is reality here and now. The upper reaches of the Emscher in the east of Dortmund thus offer a glimpse of what will apply to the entire river in a few years. As a near-natural river with few barriers, the Emscher will again become a habitat for animals and plants. And thus also for people to relax, as is already a matter of course here.

More information about the wastewater-free future of the Emscher can be found here: eglv.de/emscher.

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?
