Wayside Cross

Highlight • Monument

>

The crosses, which are made of stone, wood or metal, are small monuments and belong to the characteristic elements of a landscape. In Catholic areas they were set up as an expression of faith and mostly tell stories from times long past. Their backgrounds are as varied as the materials, shapes and inscriptions. Some crosses were used to mark the way, others indicated dangerous places, reminded of an accident, a crime, a catastrophe or illness or were supposed to drive away evil spirits or protect animals from epidemics.

Willow Trees in the Ruhr Region

Highlight • Natural

The "Witches' Circle," as it's known in the area.

The willows have been heavily pruned and aren't quite as impressive at the moment.

They stand in a circle in a large meadow on private property.

It's easy to see why this is supposed to be a magical place. Even if that's just a bit of nonsense, you can simply enjoy the pretty willows.

Salt route, on which salt was transported from the saltworks in Königsborn to the Lippe near Lünen in the 18th century.

The giant egg, which once supplied the towns of Lanstrop, Derne, Mengede, Brambauer and parts of the city of Lünen as well as the surrounding mines of Harpener Bergbau AG with Ruhrwasser, sits enthroned on a strong steel pole and a square steel frame. With the construction of the ice, toilet flushing and taps began to enter the region in 1906. The tower also offered a higher standard of hygiene and ensured a constant water pressure and an emergency supply in the event of a pipe break between the pumping station and the egg. The water tower supplied the region with drinking water until 1980. Since it was decommissioned - despite the protection of historical monuments - the rust has taken over the egg and has added a lot to it.
