Hut Tour in Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park: Experience Duisburg's industrial culture up close
This tour takes visitors on an impressive journey through the history of the Meiderich Ironworks. In Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park, technical monuments, working world, and structural change combine to create a special discovery experience in the heart of the Ruhr area.
A tour through the path of iron
The tour vividly explains how the former ironworks became a vibrant place of industrial culture. The path of iron leads from the blast furnace through the cast house to the torpedoes car. Scaffolding, pipes, boilers, stairs, and platforms make the size of the facility immediately palpable.
History to touch in Meiderich
The landscape park was created from the Meiderich ironworks as part of the International Building Exhibition Emscher Park and today stands for a successful transition from heavy industry to a recreational space. Since 1989, Tour de Ruhr, based in Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park, has been showcasing the most beautiful sides of the region and is directly anchored at the anchor point of the Route of Industrial Culture. This creates trust, local competence, and a clear tourist authority.
