Getaway around Dortmund: out of the Ruhr, into the green
The A40 as a daily test of patience, dense buildings as far as the eye can see and, on match days at Signal Iduna Park, no getting through around Borsigplatz: the Ruhr region is lively, but rarely quiet. Yet real peace is surprisingly close: a getaway around Dortmund takes you from the Ruhr city to a landscape of reservoirs, forests and gentle ridges in the Sauerland in no time. In our cabins, you swap stadium noise for birdsong and the Ruhr expressway for true silence.
Reservoirs, steelworks and sweeping views: natural diversity for a getaway around Dortmund
Around Dortmund, the landscape changes surprisingly quickly: dense forests and reservoirs in the Sauerland, transformed industrial sites in the middle of the city and viewpoints with the entire Ruhr Valley at your feet. As different as these places are, they all show the same thing: how much nature hides behind the Ruhr region’s reputation.
