Tips

October 1, 2015

Cycling

The Pluto slag heap in Herne is located directly on the Erzbahntrasse adventure cycle path. In 2014, a five-meter-high viewing platform was opened, offering a panoramic view of the region. Over 40 steps lead to a platform from which you can enjoy the view. The direct view leads to the winding tower of the Pluto colliery. In good weather, the view extends to the Consol colliery in Gelsenkirchen, the Ewald mine, and the Hoheward slag heap in Herten.

Hiking

There is a small observation tower at the top. From his pulpit, the view is amazingly wide and practically all around. Nearby, for example, the Malakow tower of the Unser Fritz colliery and the headframe of the Pluto-Wilhelm colliery can be seen. The tailings piles in the Hoheward landscape park, the tetrahedron on the Beckstraße tailings pile in Bottrop, the Consol colliery and the “Horsti”, the sculpture on the Nordstern tower in Gelsenkirchen, are also clearly visible.

Beautiful 360° all-round view, eg in the direction of the Arena (Schalke) or Halde Hoheward and Hoppenbruch. The small detour from the Erzbahntrasse is well worth it.
