Even in bad weather, you can walk here in a mysterious mood. It's fun when the clouds are suddenly around you and only the tip of the heap is in sight. Or when you are in the middle of the cloud ...

At 159 meters high (184.9 meters above sea level), the Haniel heap is the second highest heap in the Ruhr area, so the view is correspondingly impressive!

"... Exactly on the city limits between Bottrop and Oberhausen, on the edge of the Köllnischer Wald, at 184.7 meters above sea level and about 118 meters above the surrounding area, is the second-highest tailings dump in the Ruhr area after the Oberscholven dump: the Haniel dump , occasionally also known under the names Halde Prosper-Haniel or Halde Franz Haniel. With its height, it reaches about a third of the Eiffel Tower in Paris and is at the same time the highest continuously accessible dump in the Ruhr area. In terms of area, the approximately 110 ha large specimen behind occupies the Hoheward heap and the Großes Holz heap come third.Together with the neighboring Schöttelheide heap, also known as Haniel-Nord heap, it forms an artificial ridge more than three kilometers long and covering an area of almost 170 hectares.
The mining material comes primarily from the neighboring Prosper-Haniel I / II colliery. Art, culture and religion are the formative elements on the summit, which are described in more detail below. Together with the magnificent view that is offered from the summit and even during the ascent, they make the heap a destination that fans of heaps, photos and nature should definitely take advantage of. ..."
