Evening Tour Tiger & Turtle: Duisburg's Light Sculpture in Golden Twilight
This city tour leads to Heinrich-Hildebrand-Höhe, one of the most distinctive landmarks of the Ruhr area: Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain. In the twilight, the walkable large sculpture reveals its full effect, as steel, light, and the city panorama merge into an impressive discovery experience.
A Landmark Between Art, Industry, and Panorama
Tiger & Turtle is a work of art, viewpoint, and landmark at the same time. The sculpture, developed by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth as part of the RUHR.2010 Capital of Culture, resembles a roller coaster but intentionally remains a walkable installation. With every step, the view expands further over Duisburg, the Rhine, and the sea of lights in the city.
Why the Evening Tour is So Special
As the sun sets, 880 LEDs outline the curved lines of the steel construction against the sky. The walk then becomes especially atmospheric: The tour lasts about an hour and combines local history, urban development, and industrial culture into a compact experience with a lot of urban radiance.
On the Way with an Eye for Details
The path on the sculpture is not only beautiful but also exciting. Sturdy footwear is required as the tour leads over steps and inclines. The tour takes place even in the rain, but may be canceled for safety reasons in case of thunderstorms, strong storms, snow, or ice. Especially in the evening ambiance, this city tour presents Duisburg from its surprisingly poetic side.
