    Tips

    The Pluto spoil tip in Herne is located directly on the Erzbahntrasse adventure cycle path. In 2014, a five-meter-high viewing platform was opened, offering panoramic views of the region. Over 40 steps lead to the platform, from which one can enjoy the view. The direct view extends to the headframe of the Pluto coal mine. On a clear day, the view reaches as far as the Consol coal mine in Gelsenkirchen, the Ewald mine shaft, and the Hoheward spoil tip in Herten.

      The Halde Pluto is a rather flat hill, but still offers from the small lookout tower a remarkable panoramic view of the surrounding Ruhr area. In addition, it is located in an important nature reserve (IUCN category IV), a detour to the two natural ponds worthwhile.

        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.
