Guided Story
Ever stood on a mountain of history? That's exactly what the Knappenhalde is. Look up and you'll see the highest point in Oberhausen. It started as a byproduct of the mining industry but has since transformed into a lush green retreat. Turn around and you might spot the Bunkermuseum in the distance, a place that narrates the region’s storied past. As you make your way up, keep an eye out for rabbits that have made this place their home. And once you reach the top, take a moment to soak in the sweeping views of the city – it's like watching history blend with the present.
