The UNESCO World Heritage Site Zollverein in the north of the city is not only impressive for its architecture, but also offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor leisure activities. If you’re drawn more to nature, the area around Lake Baldeney in southern Essen is just the place for you, with a host of water sports on offer. Try them for yourself or enjoy the view from the sandy beach. The viewpoints along the high-altitude hiking trail offer further vistas.
