From the cover page of numerous magazines to the start screen on Windows computers, ‘Tiger & Turtle – Magic Mountain’ is one of the most photographed and published subjects of recent times.
Tiger & Turtle - Magic Mountain stands for a new form of industrial culture - an exciting mix of art, adventure and experience in the centre of the Ruhr region. The walk-in rollercoaster sculpture, designed by Heike Mutter and Ulrich Genth, opens up exciting opportunities to view the familiar in a new context. It offers an extraordinary perspective on the industrial landscape of Duisburg and inspires visitors to experience the tried and tested from a fresh angle.
Built on a former spoil tip in the south of Duisburg, this iconic sculpture stands out impressively against the sky, especially at night, thanks to the 880 LEDs that light up its curves, while its sweeping curves create a fascinating play of light. During the day, the climb up to the "looping" attracts visitors with spectacular views. From here, on a clear day, you can see as far as Düsseldorf and the airport tower.
For creative types, this work of art offers countless photo opportunities - be it the interplay of light and shadow at dusk or the symmetrical grace of the steel structures up close. There are also views of the hustle and bustle of the surrounding works and the dense forests that frame this modern spectacle.
Free admission makes it an easily accessible destination for spontaneous adventures. Whether by day or by night, this sculpture casts a spell over visitors and invites them to explore the surroundings from a new perspective. So why wait? The world of urban discoveries is waiting to be explored here.
