On the stockpile grows a structured system of paths, staircases, stairs and viewpoints, which makes access from all sides possible. In the lower area, a six-kilometer-long balcony promenade has been created, which spans the entire heap and eleven viewing balconies are located. From Salentinplatz, over a staircase / staircase construction with 529 steps, you will overcome the approximately 100 vertical meters to the construction site of the Horizontobservatory.
All in all, around the heap, twelve staircases from the districts are to lead up to the observatory, as in the case of a clock.

Hiking

If you just want to walk the balcony promenade, you can do it wonderfully without any major climbs or descents and still have great views. Absolutely suitable for strollers. The path is wide and comfortable and is also ideal for jogging
