Zollverein Ice Rink

According to the Marco Polo travel guide, „probably the most fascinating place in Germany for ice skating“: at Zollverein, Zollverein Foundation offers an opportunity for the whole family to ice-skate on the Zollverein Ice Rink for four weeks. Skating artists and anyone aspiring to become one can do pirouettes, whizz across the ice, or carefully take their first steps on the slippery surface.

In addition, the impressive industrial architecture, the icy 1,800-square metre area stretching alongside the impressive coke ovens, rust-red pipes, and high chimney stacks are also a unique experience for those watching. After dusk, when the light installation by Jonathan Speirs and Mark Major bathes the Zollverein Coking Plant in colourful light, the ice skaters experience a very special kind of winter romance.
