Kokerei Zollverein Continued
Saturday, July 07, 2001; posted by Paris
In the middle of what were the coke ovens, a giant round Ferris-wheel-like device has been placed. In the middle of the rain storm we decided to take a ride. Not sure if we were supposed to pay first, but the rather wet, unhappy ride guy let us go on for two cycles. From the top of this wheel, we could see all of the surrounding area and the nearby mines.
