A spectacular entry into the Erzbahntrasse. Architecturally interesting, but above all beautiful to look at and quite practical for cyclists and pedestrians. Actually, the route could also be called the bridge route. On the following kilometers there are still some remarkable bridge constructions...

Westpark, Bochum

Highlight • Structure

The Westpark in Bochum is a worth seeing destination. The entire park is illuminated, especially in the dark.

Jahrhunderthalle Bochum

Highlight • Monument

The Jahrhunderthalle in Bochum is an industrial monument and cultural highlight in one. It is an anchor point on the Route of Industrial Heritage and venue for events such as concerts, theater and shows. With the Ruhrtriennale, the Jahrhunderthalle houses the most important cultural festival in the Ruhrgebiet.

As a prime example of the structural change in the Ruhr area, the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum stands for the new understanding of culture in the Ruhr Metropolis. It is the center of the festival ground Ruhr, landmark of Bochum and dares the border crossing between tradition and modernity.

Erzbahn Kiosk

Highlight • Rest Area

It's just a snack bar. Nevertheless, she is well on the way to becoming a cult, without any fancy. That's how it works in the pot.

The geographical center of the Ruhr region

Highlight • Monument

The center of the Ruhr area is in Wanne-Eickel (now Herne) Rolandstr. in the district of Röhlinghausen.
But as is often the case, opinions differ. Some clever "heads" claim that the center is in the Emscherbruch in Gelsenkirchen, on the edge of the central landfill. Why and how is not really important, it has something to do with mathematics or something. But since we were only good at singing and clapping at school, we are not going along with that. Wanne-Eickel Rolandstr. "That seems to be true"! After all, there is a granite stone there with the inscription "You are at the geographical center of the Ruhr area in Herne-Röhlinghausen".
