Zeche Zollverein (Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex) used to be a famous coal mine in Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.It has been listed in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites since December 14, 2001.The building, being an architectural and technical masterpiece,earned a reputation as the “most beautiful coal mine in the world”. (Source from Wikipedia)
Last month I visited this historical site with my friends, Fizz and Tony.In my previous visit, I didn't enter the Ruhr Museum. But this time, we decided to explore the museum and see what it has to offer.As you all might have known, I'm not really the museum kind of guy. But I got persuaded by Fizz, so I thought why not..I might not get this chance again..
We spent more than 3 hours in this very "small" museum. There are so many things to be explored ranging from nature to the cultural history of the Ruhr region. There's a big collection of geology, archaeology, history and photography of the Ruhr region that you can discover here.
Lets take a look at the pictures, shall we?

I've actually written a post on the best food to eat when you're abroad. There are not many halal restaurants in Germany..so the best alternative is to eat at Turkish restaurants..
