Hut Tour in the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park: Experience industrial culture up close
This tour brings the Meidericher Ironworks to life and leads right into an impressive chapter of Ruhr area history. In the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park, steel, technology, and everyday working life come together – vividly narrated, close to the original locations, and with a strong focus on the structural change in the region. The tour lasts 1.75 hours, is designed for adults, limited to 20 participants, and takes place on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays at 12:00 PM and 2:00 PM; from May to September, an additional appointment is available on Wednesdays at 10:00 AM.

On the path of iron through a unique industrial monument
The walk follows the famous path of iron from the charging hall to the torpedo ladle car. Between scaffolding, pipes, stairs, and platforms unfolds a backdrop that makes history tangible. Here it becomes clear how the mining industry worked and what significance the ironworks had for Duisburg and the Ruhr area. Today, the site also stands for the creative repurposing of a former industrial area and for a strong local recreation experience.

Panorama, light installation, and Ruhr area feeling
Particularly impressive is the walkable blast furnace 5, from where, in good weather, wide views of the western Ruhr area open up at about 70 meters high. On weekends, the light installation transforms the old factory into a moody play of colors and gives the walk through industrial culture an almost magical atmosphere. This creates a true discovery experience between architecture, nature, and local history. ([tour-de-ruhr.de](https://tour-de-ruhr.de/tour/huettenfuehrung/))
