Stories that stick
Walli tells not dryly, but in the unmistakable Ruhr German. This creates the special charm of this tour: historical references, memories of the former recreational area, and views of castles, fishing clubs, paddle boats, and meadow campers merge into a lively city tour with a recognizable value. In this way, Bochum can be experienced from a new, very personal perspective.
