Emscher Floodplain Park

The new Emscherland has become really beautiful; although not quite finished. It's not too crowded during the week either.

It was impossible for me to follow the exact route. Signs were missing or covered in tape in places. I probably missed a few things. The GPX track I downloaded for the navigation system sometimes contradicted the signs.
