Two days in the Ruhr: UNESCO-listed Zollverein colliery, Duisburg inland port and the blast furnace of Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord.
The Ruhr, once Germany’s industrial heartland, has turned its mines and factories into spectacular venues, perfect for an original company outing. In Essen, the Zollverein colliery complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, tells the story of coal and the men who mined it. The next day, your teams board a boat for a tour of the port of Duisburg, one of Europe’s largest inland ports, then climb a former blast furnace in Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord. Climbing in the old ore bunkers, a team dinner and a seminar room can complete this programme, particularly appealing to technical and industrial companies. Coach, hotel, visits and meals are organised on a turnkey basis, to suit your budget and group size.
