High ropes course

The team experience involved in “Expedition Steel”, the high ropes course, is a programme in which, first and foremost, team spirit and group solidarity are of central importance. Wobbly bridges and challenging rope constructions take adventurers up and away from Casting House 2, providing the most impressive and bizarre impressions which are to be enjoyed in the former ironworks in the Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord. Supervised by well trained staff, this programme lasts roughly three hours and is a group experience unlike any other.

At a height of about 50 metres the course ends with a magnificent view of the Ruhr District. Minimum age 16.

All equipment is provided. Prior experience is not necessary. The Group experience is bookable for 10 people or more. Times by arrangement.

Additional information

Blast Furnace 5

Furnaces like Blast Furnace 5 were used to produce pig iron by smelting iron ore with lots of other aggregates at temperatures of around 2000°C. A furnace like this could operate continuously for ten years before the internal brickwork had to be relined.

Casting Houses

In the once red hot casting houses 1, 2 and 5, the molten pig iron from the blast furnaces emerged into the outside world for further processing. The pictured casthouse 1 is an event location today.
