At the canal of Wanne - Eickel
 

The river Emscher can be found only a fe hundreds of meters in the north of the Rhine - Herne - canal.

The river sould give its name to the new town "Emschertal" (Valley of the Emscher), consisting the towns Wanne - Eickel, Herne and Castrop - Rauxel.
But the politics changed.

But the quality of the water of the former most dirty river of Germany should become better. Perhaps trouts will be find there again one day.

 

The Rhine - Herne - canal going from Duisburg about Wanne - Eickel up to the ship lifting device Henrichenburg is not only a pure industrial water indeed.

The canal offers fisherman, aquatic sportsmen and tourism a home.
