Northumberlandia (Lady of the North)

Great walk about this land sculpture which opened in 2012

The "Northumberlandia" project owes its origins to open-cast mining: The earth lying above the mineral resources to be mined (e.g., coal seams) – known in technical terms as "overburden" – is typically stored on a so-called "overburden dump." Europe's largest artificial mountain, "Sophienhöhe," was created this way in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
As a landscape project, the overburden was used to create a reclining female figure called "Northumberlandia." However, from a ground perspective, little will be visible on site. To experience the outline of the sculpture of the lady, also known as the "Lady of the North," there is a plan sketch on the official website, which I have imported into the komoot image gallery (source: northumberlandia.com ).
