Evening Tour Tiger & Turtle: Duisburg's Light Moment Above the City
As dusk settles over Duisburg's southern region, Tiger & Turtle transforms into a luminous discovery experience. The walkable large sculpture on Heinrich-Hildebrand-Höhe reveals itself in its most impressive form: steel, curves, and light merge into a city tour featuring a panorama, industrial culture, and a unique atmosphere.
A Landmark Between Artwork and Viewing Point
The evening tour highlights the history of this extraordinary site. Tiger & Turtle is considered the only walkable roller coaster in the world and also represents the transformation of the city of Duisburg: from an old spoil heap landscape to a place for art, perspective, and cultural enrichment. In the gentle evening light, the sculptural curves reveal their full effect.
Panoramic Views to Remember
The ascent rewards visitors with impressive views over Duisburg, the Rhine, and the city’s sea of lights. On clear days, the view extends far beyond southern Duisburg. Especially in the evening, an atmosphere emerges that uniquely connects architecture, industrial culture, and nature.
History, Art, and Local Stories
During the approximately one-hour tour, visitors learn more about the origins, the artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth, and the idea behind the landmark. The tour tells the story of the redesign of Heinrich-Hildebrand-Höhe, Duisburg's industrial heritage, and an artwork that has long become a modern landmark.
Practical Tips for the Tour
The tour takes place even in rain. In case of thunderstorms or strong storms, it will be canceled for safety reasons. Sturdy footwear and a flashlight are essential, as the pathway over the sculpture requires attention. The meeting point is Tiger & Turtle at Ehinger Str. 117 in 47249 Duisburg, easily accessible by tram 903 to the stop Tiger & Turtle. Parking is available in the surrounding residential streets.
