Drizzle at the beginning, drizzle at the end, dry gloom in between. Unfortunately too much asphalt, only easily repeatable with 10 cm of fresh snow. From Phoenixsee (formerly the Phoenix Ost steelworks, which was dismantled by the Chinese in 1999 and shipped to China in its entirety), along the Emscher and Westfalenpark to the BvB temple (view of the south …

Today a city tour through Dortmund: Mostly away from the streets, it first went around the Phönixsee, then along the former Hoesch factory Phönix-West in the direction of Rombergpark. The park invites you to linger, beautiful garden design! Cafe Orchidee and the lake are on the way.

July 5, 2024,Asphalt-Walk in Dortmund Süd

The football hype is currently limiting my freedom of movement. Because of the public viewing in the park, there will soon be a rush for parking spaces in my area too. So I decided to do a door-to-door route, unfortunately very asphalt-heavy, but fairly quiet as there is not much traffic. Starting in the direction of the stadium. There, completely …
