Address

Konrad-Adenauer-Platz 4
44629 Herne

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

Wesel

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
