Wilhelminaberg Summit View

It's not 230 meters high, but only 225 above NAP (Normaal Amsterdams Peil). The longest stair from the Netherlands, with more than 500 steps, leads to the top of this former mine-dump, from the mine called Wilhelmina, wich was situated in Terwinselen (Kerkrade).

The Wilhelminaberg is an artificial hill in the municipality of Landgraaf. The hill originated as a spoil heap of the Wilhelmina State Mine and was transformed into a recreational area in the 1970s. The hill has a height of 225 meters above sea level.

From the top, in clear weather, you can see the Claus power station near Roermond, the slag heaps of Genk in Belgium, the Halden in Germany and the lignite power station near Würselen. And to the south you have a view to where the mountains continue: the Eifel, the High Fens with the highest point in Belgium and the Vaalserberg.

The Wilhelmina staircase, which allows you to climb the Wilhelminabert hill, is said to be the longest in the Netherlands.
Length: 248 meters (Bueren Liège: 194 m)
Elevation: 95 m (Bueren Liège: 67 m)
All for 508 steps! (Bueren Liège: 374 steps)
(less "difficult" than that of Bueren because less steep)
It is made up of 22 flights of steps separated by a landing.
The lower sections are wider, and have 20 steps, than those at the top, which are narrower and have 24 steps.
This is only to reinforce the optical effect by accentuating the perspective.
The 360° view from its summit is worth a look.
