Tiger and Turtle – Magic Mountain is a unique walkable sculpture shaped like a roller coaster, located on a former landfill site in Duisburg's Angerpark. Designed by artists Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth, this 45-meter-high steel structure allows visitors to climb its looping pathways on foot, reaching a viewing platform at the highest point. From there, you can enjoy sweeping views of the Ruhr area's industrial landscape, including the nearby Gasometer and the Rhine-Herne Canal. The sculpture is illuminated at night with changing LED colors, creating a striking landmark visible from afar. It's a popular spot for photography, sunset views, and urban exploration.
