Ruhrtalradweg
240 km bike path along River Ruhr, Winterberg - Duisburg. Paved and separate from traffic, but can get flooded during high water. In good weather cows graze here, in bad weather the fog often creates a great atmosphere.
Obermarkt
Small square with water art installation reminding to the days of horse-drawn shipping on the Ruhr River.
Post-war rebuild square with collonnade surrounding it, shaded by trees and often host to events.
Untermarkt
One of the main places of the historic centre. Very busy during events. 1 - 24 December "Frau Holle" (Miss Holle) will open a calendar window in the facade of the old town hall, read stories and throw sweets every day at 17:00.
