The slag heap is worth it. From here you can see how the landscape changes. In the south you can see Dortmund with the foothills of the Sauerland and to the north you can see how it becomes increasingly flatter towards the Münsterland.

Former landfill. On the platform is the EDG mountain bike arena. Currently (winter 2016/17) is a large photovoltaic system under construction.
Great view of the Dortmund city center and the northwestern neighborhoods.

The Deusenberg (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deusenberg) is located directly on Emscherweg (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emscher-Weg) between the districts Huckarde and Deusen. The former landfill offers about 55 meters above the countryside lying a wonderful view of the surrounding neighborhoods. An approximately 130-meter-long staircase offers pedestrians next to a ramp that is also used by cyclists the climb to the mountain, whose highest point is about 120 meters above sea level. The EDG Mountain Bike Arena, built on the mountain by the local waste management company, is a popular destination with varying degrees of difficulty for MTB riders. Here you can meet model flyers as well as walkers, who have the opportunity to visit the directly adjacent coking plant Hansa (museum). The Deusenberg is also used by paragliders.
There are no opening hours, the area is freely accessible.
