About this school trip
At Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord, the former Meiderich ironworks has been transformed into a unique park where industrial culture and nature meet. Pupils walk among the old blast furnaces and installations and see how plants and animals have reclaimed the industrial site. It is a wonderful place to combine lessons on industrialisation and ecology.
A highlight is Hochofen 5: you can climb this blast furnace up to a viewing platform with sweeping views. For active groups there is a climbing garden, a high ropes course and even a gasometer used for diving. The park offers guided tours of the steelworks and a dedicated offer for schools and students, and a biological field station is based on site.
We are happy to take care of transport to Duisburg for you and your pupils. The Ruhr is easy to reach by motorway, and with our comfortable coach and an experienced driver you travel there and back safely and in a relaxed way.
