And as a bonus after leaving the Nordsternpark behind following and finally crossing the Rhine-Herne Canal over the canal bridge you enter the city
#Essen and approach the
#Schurenbachhalde, a former spoil heap.
Like most former spoil heap it's now a mostly green hill in the landscape with an artwork on top and a fascinating view of the sourroundings.
From here you can see the
#Nordsternpark and the
#VeltinsArena of the local soccer club
#Schalke04 in
#Gelsenkirchen, the still active coking plant
#Prosper in
#Bottrop, the coal mine and coking plant
#Zollverein in Essen, the Skyline of Essen including the city hall and the RWE Tower and the
#Gasometer #Oberhausen.
