Emscher Floodplain — North Side

Highlight • River

The stormwater retention basin and the Emscher meadows are wonderful for both humans and animals.

There's always plenty of birdwatching to be seen there, and the trails are perfect for cycling and hiking.

Emscherweg at the Horststraße Ickern

Highlight • Cycleway

It used to be a stinking sewer and is now a highlight of my tours.
Fortunately, the former smell of the Emscher is history.

Emscherland Experience Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Emscher Floodplain Park

Highlight • Natural

It is always nice to cycle through the green park in the Emscher Valley. Where brown water once flowed, a beautiful floodplain area has now been created around the renaturalized Emscher.
