The Emscherkunstweg (Emscher Art Trail) is a permanent collection of art in public space: 23 artworks accessible to everyone at all times and free of charge.
ART FOR EVERYONE AT ALL TIMES!
The sculpture trail runs along the banks of the Emscher river from its source in Holzwickede to its mouth in Dinslaken, covering over 100 kilometres of cycle paths. Over lengthy stretches the trail follows the cycle path Emscher-Weg, which is well signposted. A number of the art sites are located slightly away from the Emscher-Weg.
