Unique scenery

The Zollverein UNESCO World Heritage Site in the north of Essen is one of the most impressive monuments of industrial culture - and vividly shows how nature and culture are reclaiming the former industrial complex. The site includes the colliery grounds and the coking plant, which was once the largest in Europe. Between the bolides of steel and stone, a diverse plant world has developed, at first imperceptibly, but today clearly visible: Native woods and exotic plants stretch across former wastelands. In the field of tension between historical industrial scenery and nature experiences, a unique scenery is created.
