Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle ripple of the water? That's the Ruhrschifffahrtskanal, winding peacefully through the scenery. Picture the large ships that once glided silently here, thanks to the canal built in 1927 to directly connect to the Rhine. Look over to your left, and you might catch a glimpse of the Raffelberg Hydroelectric Plant, harnessing the Ruhr's energy for over a century. Notice how the trees by the bank cast their shadows over the water, creating an almost magical play of light. It's this blend of engineering and nature that makes this spot so special. Take a stroll along the bank and uncover the hidden corners waiting to be explored.
