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 a fear of heights, as the way up leads over grating steps. Apart from that, the platforms sway a little as they are attached by wire ropes.

Very beautiful castle, in the middle of the water. A great sight from all sides and the castle appears very well preserved. There is a restaurant in the middle.

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!
