Dissolved minerals from the pit water from the mining of the Robert Müser colliery explain the occurrence of this curious water coloration in the northern part of the Harpen ponds. So the sulfur still comes into play and lets out bad smells from time to time, but you shouldn't let that deter you, because the beautiful surroundings clearly predominate.

Harpener ponds (Bochum)

In the footsteps of mining

The Harpener ponds - also called Werner ponds, are a combination of still waters, which are partly fed by the Harpen creek. This springs as Bövinghauser Bach in Dortmund and changes its name when overflowing the city boundary to Bochum. Located in the immediate vicinity of the hustle and bustle of the Ruhr-Park shopping center, the recreational potential of the Harpener ponds is surprising. Originally designed as a settlement oak of the Bochum mining industry, the ponds offer walkers, cyclists and joggers a little crowded oasis of peace and quiet. From this stands out only the feeding point of the mine water of the coal mine Robert-Müser with loud noise and bubbling, which is responsible for the milky cloudiness and at times for unpleasant smell of sulfur by the mineral-containing water. Seating for a break are available. At the Harpener ponds is also a wedding forest to find. A trail network developed from the west, the south and the north leads freely accessible through a special flora and fauna.
