ERIH - European Route of Industrial Heritage

ERIH, the European Route of Industrial Heritage, is the tourism information network of industrial heritage in Europe.  

This channel reviews the activities of our network  and presents industrial heritage sites and regional routes from all over Europe that are definitely worth a day trip or even a longer holiday. 

Find more information on our website where we present over 2,200 sites from all European countries. Over 100 of these are so-called Anchor Points, sites of exceptional historical importance in terms of industrial heritage which also offer a high quality visitor experience. Regional Routes introduce in more detail the industrial history of landscapes, which were particularly influenced by industrialisation. All sites are assigned to one or more of 16 Theme Routes, which represent branches of industry and show the variety and the interlinkages of European industrial history. 

ERIH is co-funded by the European Union and certified as a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe.
