Hiking

In the quarry "Am Kleff" on the Herbeder road between Witten-Heven and Witten the seam Mentor emerges very clearly visible. However, the information board characterizes this seam as the seam Geitling 3. The seam was not degradable due to its small thickness.

Hiking

In addition to a wonderful time travel through the history of coal mining, you can enjoy the beautiful nature and make a detour to an old castle ruins with fantastic views over the Ruhr and the surrounding area. A very versatile hike.
