Dortmund's 25 km circle takes in a run of country houses and castles: Haus Bodelschwingh at 8.2 km, Haus Dellwig at 8.1 km, Wasserschloss Werdringen at 14.6 km, Haus Kemnade at 19.2 km and Burg Blankenstein above the Ruhr at 20.3 km. The lookout towers come with dates: the Vincketurm (1857), the Harkortturm (1880) and the Eugen-Richter-Turm (1911).
Then there's the industrial side, which the ruins list is full of: the Zeche Elisabethenglück buildings at 20.5 km, Zeche Timmerbeil, the Ausgrabung Hörder Burg at 3.7 km. Seven caves at the far edge of the radius, the Dechenhöhle among them, round it off. Plenty here for RLQuest to send you to.
Each hexagon covers a little over 5 square kilometers. The brighter it glows, the more places are inside it. The numbers mark the highlights listed below; the dot in the middle is the center of Dortmund.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
