The dump Hoheward is a mining dump in the Ruhr area. It originated from the foundations of the Recklinghausen II colliery, the Ewald colliery and the General Blumenthal / Haard colliery. Located between the cities of Herten and Recklinghausen, together with the Hoppenbruch heap, it forms the largest stockpile landscape in the Ruhrgebiet. The highest point of the heap is with a height of 152.5 m above sea level. NN reached. The Hoheward and Hoppenbruch heaps are part of the Route of Industrial Heritage and the Hoheward Landscape Park. The owner of both heaps is the Regionalverband Ruhr, which has taken over the land from Deutsche Steinkohle AG. As project promoter, he is responsible for the expansion of the Hoheward dump. In good weather, the Rheinturm in Düsseldorf, which is about 50 km away, can be seen.

Great view of the Ruhr area and the Münsterland

Set the alarm and just do it, you'll NEVER forget it.

Can be very windy. But the view in good weather is outstanding. Ascension is demanding.

Especially this heap offers a spectacular panorama over the Ruhr area.
If you are not afraid of this alpine challenge, you should not miss the Hoheward heap.

Great view over the whole pot (weather dependent)

The balconies are located slightly below half the height of the heap. You can walk around the stockpile on the balcony promenade and have a view in all directions. The entire loop is about 7 km long. If you want to see the sundial and the arches, you have to go all the way up.

In good visibility, a wonderful view over the heart of the coal mine.

Especially the "balcony promenade" did it to me. Without having to go to the bottom of the heap, views in all directions. Especially recommended in the absence of vegetation.

Great view over the Ruhr area. The view also goes deep into the Münsterland.
