Schurenbachhalde

The Schurenbach tip, Essen-Altenessen: The 15 metre high steel slab created by the sculptor Richard Serra is one of the most prominent landmarks in the Ruhrgebiet. It is quite amazing, the view is over most of the region, with smokestacks and other industrial buildings protruding from the landscape.





It was quite a difficult journey climbing up this hill, however I had loads of blackberries to keep me going. This plant exists nearly everywhere in this region.


There is a certain threshold where plants no longer grow as you get closer to the sculpture.






Signs clearly tell those traveling by bicycle where they are and the distance to the nearest anchor points.
