The Industrial heritage route by bike naturally leads through Gelsenkirchen. Hardly any other city in the Ruhr area was so strongly influenced by the industrial age as the city of 1000 fires. To date, numerous industrial plants have been converted into cultural and recreational centers. Representative of this structural change is the North Star Park: Where the Nordstern colliery used to bring coal to light, people come together today to experience a wide range of art and culture or simply to enjoy a few quiet minutes in the countryside. The two heaps in Gelsenkirchen aim high: Both the Rungenberg dump as well as the Rheinelbe dump must first be conquered, but those who have managed to do so will be rewarded with a unique view over Gelsenkirchen and the surrounding radrevier.ruhr!
