Hiking

The horizon observatory can be seen from afar. From above you have a great panoramic view.

Hiking

There are countless hiking trails around the old mine. Particularly recommended for cyclists, if there aren't too many pedestrians around, of course 🚲

Hiking

Halde Hohewart is one of, if not the most beautiful, dump when it comes to "demolishing" kilometers on wide paths with slight inclines. Fast climbers can also take steep, paved paths around the heap. Unfortunately, there has been a legal dispute about construction defects at the observatory for several years, so it is currently locked. The all-round view is terrific. Too bad that at the foot of the dump or on the site of the Ewald colliery there are only few, simple restaurants.
