The girls and I took a bike ride to the Tetraeder in Bottrop this morning. It took us about an hour to get there. The construction is quite striking, and definitely not for the faint of heart when it comes to heights. The platforms consist of grids, which allow a pretty clear view of the ground below. The upper platforms are also constantly swaying slightly, which makes for a very odd sensation. I am very happy that the girls found it as interesting as I did, and we spent about an hour exploring.
