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…

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 😉

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
