Tetrahedron Bottrop

Highlight • Monument

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.

With its height of 60 meters above the 90 meter high heap summit, it is a very impressive building. Even more impressive, however, is the view that you have from here over the Ruhr area has.

I took the easier route back. Instead of following Johannesstraße, I continued straight ahead until I reached Gungstraße. Only at the roundabout did I follow Johannesstraße and end …
