Unfortunately, despite a confirmed reservation, the apartment we booked was not available today. So unfortunately we had to go back home and the joy of our short vacation at the Zollverein colliery was gone. More than annoying!

It's located on a main road with a tram. But ideal for visiting the mine.

Clean, correct. Easy check in/out and although it is far from the center, it has a tram nearby and the surroundings of the Rühr Mine close by. Free parking next door.
