Home of the Lippe pirates
"Home of the Lippe pirates" is located directly on the river in Dorsten, in the heart of the Ruhr area, with its own canoe rental and direct access to the Römer-Lippe-Radweg. You can reach the city center in just 3.5 kilometers, where the Zeche Leopold and the Vinylcafe await you. The Haltern reservoir and Heidesee also invite you to excursions into nature. Bottrop is just 12 kilometers away, where the Tetraeder and Halde Haniel offer views over the Ruhr area. Ideal for campers who want to combine water, cycling, and industrial heritage.1

Sights in the area1
Tetraeder Bottrop
A walkable steel pyramid on a slag heap in Bottrop, about twelve kilometres away; from the top you see half the Ruhr area, and the climb takes under half an hour.
Halde Haniel
Slag heap near Bottrop with a Stations-of-the-Cross path and an open-air stage on top; a late-afternoon destination, when the sun stands over the cooling towers.
Halterner Stausee
Reservoir in the northern Ruhr area with a sandy shore and a path around it; the place to swim on days when the indoor pool is too crowded.
