After riding the monorail of Wuppetal we were heading for the coalmine in Essen but we made a detour to Hattingen. Sabsi had not been here before but had heard about it from another VT member.
Well we were glad we visited its a most delightful place to stroll around and as for the cakes...well eat your heart out. I'd return just for the cakes!!
