Another fascinating place to visit is the Kettwig sculpture park where you can admire all kinds of outdoor sculptures dotted about the grounds. Essen offers a lot of sporting activities such as baseball, softball, basketball, billiards, eishockey, football, inline skating, self-defence arts, canoe and kayaking, swimming, tennis etc. something for everyone. If your into modern square dancing then why not pop along to the Mining Twirlers club situated in Frohnhausen, Koelner Strasse, every Friday evening starting at 8.30pm.

Big city living
Essen is a very cosmopolitan, busy and thriving community. Just like many other big cities in Germany, Essen has just about everything to offer. Travelling in and around the city can be a bit of a nightmare so try not to drive unless you feel very confident about where you are going. There are many underpasses in the city and their main mode of public transport is the Strassenbahn (tram) which takes you all over Essen and is an economical way to travel. Also when your there, take a visit to the Grugapark. One of Germany's largest, offering summer concerts, pony rides and playgrounds, all in wonderful settings to relax and enjoy the day.

	Essen has also a soccer team.... Tip Rating:

Essen has also a soccer team. Rot-Weiß Essen, but this team isn't in the major league. It's just in the regional league. But it's a part of Essen and the fans stand behind their players. But bewarned there are also many hooligans and this means trouble.

	You have to visit Werden. It's... Tip Rating:

Updated By evilboomer on August 24, 2002

Essen Page by evilboomer

You have to visit Werden. It's a district of Essen at the river Ruhr. It has a historic and wonderful center with ol churches and historic buildings. But when you visit this district please don't take the car to drive to Werden because it's full of cars and it's very stressful to find a parkingspace. Take the train or busses to come to Werden.

I just realized and thought about it what you can do when you woke up damn early in the morning, like 5 or 6 am and you don't wanna stay in bed or in the hotel or where you are in the moment. What can you do so early in Essen. Hmm.....I don't know. You can go jogging through one of the many parks here in Essen. On Saturdays and Sundays you can visit a flea market, buy rolls for a nice breakfast or just try to sleep again. There is nothing special in the morning in Essen. Or you take some pictures of the must see activitys in the morninglight.

fishing at the Ruhr

by jenniferchin

I am always fascinated by serene activities like this ~ fishing brings to mind calmness and quiet :-) We had to lower our tone when talking as we did not want to disturb the fish :-))
