Castrop-Rauxel, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany - Autumn on the restored Emscher, EMSCHERLAND adventure park, a new nature and water adventure park on the restored Emscher, at the Emscher water cross with the Rhine-Herne Canal on the city limits of Recklinghausen and Castrop-Rauxel. Flood protection through area expansion. The ecological focus at the confluence of the Suderwicher Bach and Emscher rivers will also be a future garden of the IGA 2027 International Garden Exhibition. Before the restoration, the river system of the Emscher was an open, aboveground waste water channel, mixed water channel with surface water and waste water. Back right, the new bridge jump over the Emscher. On the horizon the Datteln 4 power plant
