Highlight (Segment) • Structure

fastest way up and down to / from the tetrahedron. With beautiful weather the weather is always a bit fuller.

The view from the highest platform is great, but not for people with vertigo, as the way up leads over lattice steps. Apart from that, the platforms swing a bit because they are attached to wire ropes.

The moated castle is beautiful. The rest of it looks moldy. The Tetrahedron and the part of Bottrop resemble a social hotspot. It is run down. The Tetrahedron is a tourist attraction and is well visited by older people. So the tour is not recommended.

You should choose the park with the moated castle OR the Tetrahedron. Otherwise you have to negotiate a long stretch of road on the way there and back. But both are worth it, especially the Tetrahedron - impressive!
