This highly interesting, approximately 25-kilometer round tour takes you past active and abandoned sites of industrial culture in the Beckum cement district. A must for anyone who wants to find out how former industrial areas can be renatured and transformed into wonderful recreational spaces. Don't forget your bathing suit, because…

Blue Lagoon, Beckum

Highlight • Lake

When the sun is right, you can see immediately that this lake is not called the "Blue Lagoon" for nothing.

My old home, from the time when the emissions from the cement works covered the city (in the respective wind direction) with a gray layer of dust. I always imagined that these then ugly 'holes' could actually be developed for tourism. That has happened in part, and natural holes also have something

September 8, 2024, Was vom Zement so übrig bleibt 💦🖼️ 🏄

Looking for a tour that is different: Due to an acute illness and a lot of pills to combat it, I am not supposed to "exert myself" My husband's knee hurts so much that he can't walk. So here we go on a small, leisurely bike ride with lots of (photo) stops - but where? In my treasure chest I find this tour that I never seriously intended to cycle: too short and only moderately interesting. How wrong you can be... It was totally varied and something completely different! The length was also appropriate today, we want to be careful 🫡 Off we went to Beckum for the cement route. The contrast between industry, nature reserves, lost places, forest, fields and lots of lakes is enchanting. I have rarely observed "structural change live" so well, because the cement industry has been going downhill for years... What will become of it then? It drizzles gently for long stretches - barely enough to unpack the rain cape 🌦️ The sun comes out in the last 10 minutes, so we arrive at our destination freshly dried and warmed up. Great highlights: The blue lagoon (which looks as if someone had sunk a huge paint box filled with aquamarine) and the former Dykerhoff works, now a lost place with rails that lead to nowhere, battered barbed wire, graffiti and the most beautiful industrial architecture that is slowly crumbling into ruins. Everything else is - as always - in the pictures 😉
