Höhe, South of Duisberg which stands 85 metres above sea level.

designed by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth to be a landmark for the Ruhr region.

On a construction side, about 120 tons of galvanised steel out of zinc and steel left over from local mining

operations were used and supported by 17 columns to make the 220-metre long of walkway with 249

steps in total.
