Guided Tour Ruhr 34 Landscape Park Duisburg-North Structural change tour
Not just scrap-iron
The Landscape Park Duisburg-North combines the industrial cultural heritage, nature and a fascinating light-show. What stands behind this hefty term, Landscape Park Duisburg-North? What the visitor finds here is a massive industrial wasteland, measuring 200 hectares, which has been transformed over a period of more than ten years into a multifunctional park.
At the centre of the park there is a decommissioned metalworks, the old industrial facilities of which are today being put to a variety of different uses. The former factory buildings have been converted to accommodate cultural and corporate functions; an old gasholder has become the biggest artificial diving centre in Europe; alpine climbing gardens have been created in the former ore storage bunkers, and an extinct blast furnace has been developed into a panoramic tower.
More than one million people per year are visiting the park which gates are open 24 hours a day. The best way to explore that fascinating place is on a guided tour. And there's a great choice of different tours. This is the most requested one - the structural change tour.
