    Hiking

    >

    "... The blue ribbon between the Emscher Klärpark and Vondern Castle reaches a peculiar landscape behind the Ripshorstbrücke. Wide, wild meadows, interrupted by hilly forests and strange art objects until 1932 and soon a coking plant was added. It is very likely that an approximately four meter high elevation about 500 meters east of the old railway bridge still represents the remainder of a small mine dump with the comparison between the past and the present, where the extensive colliery and track systems are now drowning in the grassland.

    Interesting location. However, some background information about the "throne" is missing

    Depending on the season, the “fallow throne” of the former Vondern colliery is well hidden in natural vegetation. Created by the artist Will Brands, it can be climbed via a wooden spiral staircase.
