Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain
Duisburg, Germany
A walkable sculpture shaped like a rollercoaster on top of a slag heap, lit up at night. The steps are free to climb, but the loop itself is closed off, and the walkway shuts in high wind or ice. Park at the Angerpark and walk up.
“Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain” is a walk-on steel sculpture shaped like a roller coaster, standing on the Heinrich-Hildebrand-Höhe, a former spoil heap in the Angerpark in the south of Duisburg. The work by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth dates from 2011. It is around 220 m long, and 349 steps with see-through grating lead up it. At night 880 LED lamps trace its outline. Access is free at any hour, but the sculpture may be closed for safety in storms, heavy rain or ice.
The Angerpark has no car parks of its own; you can usually find a space in the surrounding residential streets (Ehinger Straße, Kaiserswerther Straße). Alternatively, tram 903 runs from the main station to the “Tiger & Turtle” stop in about 20 minutes, and from there it is under ten minutes on foot. It is quieter on weekdays than at weekends, and in the evening you get a view of the lit-up city. Check the weather before you set off.
