European Route of Industrial Heritage

A tourism network linking sites of European industrial history, established 2003, with maritime and shipbuilding anchor points among its themed routes. It connects former shipyards, docks, lighthouses, and port works, including sites along the North Sea and Baltic coasts. The network operates anchor points, regional routes, and a thematic Maritime and Salt route, presenting decommissioned industrial maritime infrastructure to visitors. It is coordinated from Germany’s Ruhr region.
