Phoenix Lake
The Phoenix Lake was artificially created in 2006 on a former industrial site of a steelworks and is now known as a residential and natural recreation area. The lake quickly creates a harbor feeling and is the perfect place to spend some lovely hours by the water. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants in the area. Very close by you will also find the Kaiserberg, which offers a fantastic view of the water and the city. It is the perfect place for beautiful photos, especially at sunset!

Romberg Park
Romberg Park is located next to the zoo and is a popular spot for long walks in nature and next to a small lake, especially on weekends. The botanical garden is a real highlight, especially in spring, with a true display of flowers. But even in autumn, the many colorful leaves and the quiet crunching under your shoes create a calming atmosphere in nature.

Signal-Iduna Park
The Signal Iduna Park is the largest football stadium in Germany and home of BVB and makes the heart of every football fan beat faster. But it is also worth a visit for those who are not so keen on football.
