The Muttental valley south of the river is regarded as the cradle of Ruhr coal mining, and the LWL industrial museum at Zeche Nachtigall preserves one of the oldest pits in the district. Steel is still made in town by Deutsche Edelstahlwerke, and the Kemnader See reservoir on the border with Bochum is the Ruhr area's rowing and cycling lake. Bochum's centre is around 10 km away and Dortmund's about 15 km.
