Hansa Colliery

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hansa colliery impresses with its well-preserved architecture in the Neues Bauen style and offers fascinating insights into the history of coal mining. The site is freely accessible and is ideal for a short exploration or as a stopover on a hike through western Dortmund. Combine your visit with a detour to the neighboring Hansa coking plant or the Deusenberg spoil heap.

Highlight • River

At this point in Deusen, with a view from the Emscher Bridge, you can clearly see how the former sewer has become a natural river again.

Operating routes on the Dortmund-Ems Canal (near Dortmund-Ellinghausen)

The paths beyond the canal are popular with walkers, hikers and cyclists alike. Whether as part of a local walking tour, a long hike or a recreational bike ride, the canal trails offer excursions beyond the roads with great views of water and green landscape alternating with buildings and farms.

Most sections of the company roads are easy to ride on with all bicycles and also invite cyclists who like to ride their bikes without great inclines and inclines.

Even for hikers, the paths often offer to be included as part of a walk through the surrounding forests, fields and villages.

In the warmer season, the canal with its paths is also a popular destination for recreation for families and invites with meadows and green strips for rest and sunbathing.

If you have found your way to the harbor, it is definitely worth a refreshment break at the nearby gastronomy ship.

The club and event ship "Mr. Walter" is a converted bulk cargo ship and has been anchored in the port of Dortmund since 2011. It was launched in Rathenow-on-Havel in 1901 and served as a barge on European rivers and canals for several decades. After an extension of the hull by 14 meters in the 1970s, the ship is now 6 m wide and 60 m long "describes the operator one of the last two (as of the end of 2015) restaurants in the port of Dortmund.Of course Oliver Buschmann previously operated the" Solendo "and has converted the bulk goods ship into an attractive destination with all sorts of programs, both on the ship above and below deck as well as lovingly prepared by Oliver Buschmann and his team" Hafenstrand " : herr-walter.de
