Industrial Beauty and green areas

by sabsi - last update: Nov 25, 2003

Zeche Zollverein
Hi!

When I asked people about Essen they all replied "Oh, it's so ugly". Then I asked "have you been there?" and all said "No".
Baldeneysee
I have been to Essen several times, mostly for rowing regattas but also for a walk along the Ruhr or to see the Zollverein Pit or the Villa Huegel.

Essen is so green, it's unbelieveable! So don't believe the people who tell you it's ugly....

Glück Auf!

Pros:"Zollverein pit, Baldeneysee, Kettwig, Villa Hügel"

In A Nutshell:"Probably the city in the "Ruhrgebiet" with the most green areas!"

 As you can see.... I started exploring... and planning..... I already had Essen on my list - and your pictures of post-industrial landscape only make me impatient to see it asap.
