Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain
A walk-through steel sculpture on the slag heap at Duisburg that looks like a roller-coaster track. Visitors can climb the steel stairs along the track, and it is lit up at night.
This large installation from 2011 looks like a roller-coaster track, but it is actually a climbable steel walkway about 220 metres long, rising to roughly 21 metres above the ground. Only the central loop is off limits. It stands on a slag heap in Angerpark in southern Duisburg, with the Rhine and factory scenery around it. At night, 880 LED lights outline the track, making it very photogenic. Admission is free. It closes in snow, ice, or strong winds. From central Duisburg, the bus takes about 30 minutes.
