Open in Maps

Our guides will accompany you by bike from Herne railway station to the opening of the new artwork Königsgrube. The route first takes you to reemrenreh at the Herner Meer, then along the Rhine-Herne Canal to Glückauf. Bergarbeiterproteste des Ruhrgebiets, until you arrive in Herne-Röhlinghausen just in time for the opening of Königsgrube by Markus Jeschaunig.

In two and a half hours, you will cover around 20 kilometres, mainly on cycle paths along the canal. E-bikes adapt to the speed, the route is rather unsuitable for racing bikes. At Herne railway station, where the tour starts, you can hire a bike via a bike-sharing app. 

The meeting point is at 12:30 h at Herne railway station.

Registration is possible until 28 March at hallo@emscherkunstweg.de.

    Opening Königsgrube

Lünen

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Illustration, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
