Emscher art trail
Art for everyone, anytime! The Emscherkunstweg is a public collection of art along the Emscher. Over a distance of more than 100 kilometers, the Emscherkunstweg includes 20 works of art in public space by artists or collectives such as atelier le balto, Julius von Bismarck with Marta Dyachenko, Rita McBride, Tadashi Kawamata, Tobias Rehberger or Silke Wagner.
The first works of art on the long route can already be found in front of the door of the Gute Stube, along the Emscher. The “Walkway and Tower” is located near the Emscher Nature and Water Adventure Park in Recklinghausen Suderwich.
“Reemrenreh (Kaum Gesang)” can be seen in the middle of the Rhine-Herne Canal near Castrop-Rauxel.
And near the city harbor on the Herne side you can find “Glückauf. Miners’ protests in the Ruhr area.”
The book about the Emscher Kunstweg (published in 2024)
is also available at the Tourist Information.
The development of the hiking
& cycle path clearly presented, highlights the
artistic motivation and inspiration for the backpack
pack up and go.
