Recklinghausen, Castrop-Rauxel, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, EMSCHERLAND construction project, a 37-hectare water and nature discovery park at the water crossroads of the Rhine-Herne Canal (right) and the renaturalised Emscher (centre) on the city limits of Recklinghausen and Castrop-Rauxel. The ecological focal point at the confluence of Suderwicher Bach and Emscher will also be a future garden for the International Garden Exhibition 2027. Before the renaturalisation, the Emscher river system was an open, above-ground wastewater canal, combined sewer with surface water and wastewater. On the right, a new bridge is being built - a foot and cycle bridge over the Emscher and the Rhine-Herne Canal. The Uniper power plant Datteln 4 is in the background, Europe
