Also climb the long slag heap in cold weather. You may see a plume of smoke rising from the distant red slag heap, known to the locals as the "Visuvius". After all, it still contains quite a lot of coal that ignites by itself through chemical processes.

On the way to the 'top' you also have several viewpoints where it is sometimes nice to look over the area without crowds.

You climb the long territory calmly and then you stay at altitude for a long time before you go down again
