Loop
Compared to other river valleys, the gently sloping Emscher Valley between Vest in the north and Castroper Höhe in the south is also rather inconspicuous. Added to this are the strong human influences on the landscape, above all high spoil heaps and deep subsidence. This often makes it difficult to get an overview, especially in Herne, the most densely populated city in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The new Emscher Promenade is already accessible in places and will be further expanded in 2025, with construction work also taking place on the A43 motorway. This tour takes a detour accordingly.
