A Glimpse of Dusseldorf and the Ruhr Region (2/2)



Benrath Baroque Palace










One of the many Palace Gardens













From Bike Tour #1, the terraced park we rode to the top of, you can faintly see the observation tower at the top












The view of an indoor ski slope from the observation tower, about 5 stories up in the air.












Duisburg Nord, the vegetation reclaiming the industrial past

















Some of the old industrial buildings within the park

















A vine covered wall of a small courtyard garden














This was an area of extreme soil contamination, a soil cap was placed and an ornamental garden planted on top













One of the canals cleaned and filtered by plant material, now safe to swim in or sunbath on one of the several docks
