Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle ripple of the water? That's the Kleine Emscher flowing softly through this area. Look to your left, those old willow trees lining the bank are like nature's sentinels. They've witnessed a lot, as this stream was once the final stretch of the Emscher River from 1910 to 1949, merging into the Rhine. Imagine cargo barges carrying industrial goods from the Ruhr area along this very waterway. It's hard to believe that this peaceful stream was once part of one of Europe's most densely populated industrial regions. Take a moment to soak in the quiet and reflect on the transformations this area has undergone.
