Mercator Insel

The former is located in Duisburg Ruhrort, below the Friedrich Ebert Bridge, at the confluence of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers Spedition's Island, today's "Mercator Island". At first glance, Mercator Island appears to be surrounded by water, but it is just a peninsula ... on which, at the time, well positioned, coal, iron ore and scrap were stored. The change of time has not stopped here either, in addition to modern - forwarding agencies, a large part of the Mercator Island has been landscaped ... There are two entrances to get to Mercator Island ... At the top of the Friedrich Ebert Bridge, a staircase with a viewing platform, the so-called Haniel staircase, leads down to the Mercartor Island. Another approach, on foot, by bike or by car, leads to Mercartor Island via the Vinceweg ... In Ruhrort, past the thousand-window house, over the canal bridge to Vinceweg, where the harbor fire brigade is also located, a road leads to Mercator Island ... If you are on the Mercator Island area, you have a nice partial view of both banks of the Rhine, you are very close with the view of the historic Ruhrort, with the museum ship "Oscar Huber" and the Schifferbörse. Ships are always at anchor here ... Children are sure to enjoy such a special sight. Duisburg has probably the largest inland port in Europe, and here on the Mercator Island, on the Vince Canal at the entrance to the port basin as well as on the Ruhr and the Rhine, so many ships pass by every day that you can enjoy this sight will have ... The sculpture "The Echo of Poseidon" is located on Mercator Island and from here you can also see the other land mark on the Ruhr estuary, the oversized one Slab, named "Rheinorange" As a viewing platform with a beautiful and interesting backdrop, I can recommend Mercator Island with a clear conscience as something worth seeing. The Mercator island offers the viewer a free Rhine-Ruhr panorama ... here you can take beautiful photos ...
