This morning we met at the Hbf at 8:30 and took a bus to Duisburg and toured around the Landschaftspark. This park is made from an old industrial Blast Furnace. I found it interesting that we were able to actually climb to the top of the furnace and see for miles around. There were several levels that we could climb to and get different views, however the top view was the best. After climbing down from the furnace we went wandering around the park and got to see many of the natural aspects of the park. I enjoyed getting to see the river floating through the middle of the park, as well as all the flowers surrounding the resting areas and the kids toy areas. After getting lunch we rented bikes and took a 7 km long bike ride. The ride took about 30 minutes and we got to see some amazing scenery. At the end of this ride we were at the Gasometer. The Gasometer is an old Gas tank that has since been converted into an art museum. It was really interesting to go into the gallery and see all this modern art sitting in the middle of an old Gasometer. In all I really enjoyed this trip and though that it was one of the more fun trips that we've been on since getting here.
