    This famous U-building is near the railway station. I have seen it often as an empty shell from the car. Also I have taken this picture from the car. In autum 2008 there was major reconstruction going on. I don't know what they will make of it. We shall see.

    Coming from the city, sort of behind the Florian tower there used to be an industrial area. A lot of it is ruins and it remains to be seen what will be done with them.

    Visit the gorgeous anteaters and their kids in Dortmund's Zoo.

    The zoo is nothing too special, just a normal zoo with some funny kangaroos and huge giraffes - what made it special for me was to see the first anteaters in my life. They are so cool!!!

    Certainly off the beaten track this. Tucked away in the suburb of Wellinghofen is one of the oldest churches in the whole area. Built in place of a 9th century wooden structure, the present church dates back to the 12th century, with some extensions from the 15th. It's small, cosy, and the best thing is that during renovations the original 12th century wall decorations were discovered and the whole interior redone in the original style. It also boast one of the biggest baptismal fonts ever, you can almost bathe in it.
    Ask for the key at the parish hall opposite the church.

    A pleasant place far from the concrete and the busy streets, this dam creates a lake very attractive to water sports or jut only a picnic.
