Itinerary description

The Zollverein coal mine was the largest coal mine in Europe. Its importance and its Bauhaus style industrial architecture granted it the label of World Heritage site
https://visitworldheritage.com/en/eu/zollverein-coal-mine-industrial-complex-germany/b0b631c5-ea55-4717-9141-dcf745ee052d
Closed for almost 3 decades it is now an industrial archeology site with the Rhur Museum and the Red Dot Museum. It is a site worth visiting. Here we followed approximately the Nature Trail.
