Yeah, it's in the Rhine-Ruhr, certainly, but it's not Ruhr. I had to rearrange some plans and so missed some of the other best of Ruhr things like the Zollverein site. Not very sad about missing out on seeing Essen city center though haha
when I first got on a lady saw me staring out the back window from one row up and offered me the foamer seat I cannot emphasize enough how this was the best thing I did in Germany this trip
