(45219) Essen - 45 Bachstraße

The bridge further back is 2.20 m high and access is only permitted for vehicles up to 3.5 tons. There's a small parking lot next to the marina and in front of the Ruhr river, a spot very popular with city dwellers, where fishermen and walkers come for a change of scenery. The parking lot is quite full during the day, but deserted at night. We arrived in the afternoon and will spend the night there in complete peace. There's aircraft noise from Düsseldorf Airport starting at 6 a.m., but it's not too disturbing.
