‘The Emscher Landscape Park – Welcome to the Central Park of Metropolis Ruhr” is the title of an English brochure by the Ruhr region association (Regionalverband Ruhr, RVR) in Essen. The park lies along the river Emscher. Due to industrialization the Emscher was more or less an open sewer but ongoing natural restoration transformed it into an area of leisure and recreation. The park itself is recognized as a successful project of industrial transformation.
This A4 brochure contains some pictures which give an impression of the Emscher Landscape Park and a map. It gives hints for further brochures about places in the park, e.g. for Haus Ripshorst and the industrial heritage route.
The brochure is available for free via the RVR shop.
