Between student town and green Ruhr idyll

Enjoy the green romance of the Ruhr from the Zeppelin

This Zeppelin route connects the lively university city of Bochum with the green and historic sides of the Ruhr region. As you float along the Ruhr, you will see forests, rolling hills, and wide river bends, alternating harmoniously with castles and idyllic half-timbered villages.

Highlights include Lake Baldeney with the imposing Villa Hügel, the historic old town of Hattingen, and the towering Blankenstein Castle. You can also look forward to Lake Kemnade with the picturesque Haus Kemnade and the Ruhr University, whose botanical garden is a green oasis above the city.

As you continue on to Bochum, you will experience a fascinating mix of culture and city life: the diversity ranges from the striking Exzenterhaus to the city park and the German Mining Museum. You will also see the Schauspielhaus theater, the famous Bermuda Triangle, and Weitmar Palace Park. Finally, the observatory and the vibrant Essen side with Rüttenscheid, Gruga Park, and the exhibition grounds round off your route.

This allows you to enjoy the whole diversity of the Ruhr region from a unique perspective – from student energy and cultural highlights to green Ruhr romanticism.
