Direct ascents and serpentine ramps lead to the Großhalde from almost a dozen access points. The balcony promenade runs on a level roughly in the middle of the slope, where balconies can be found again and again as vantage points over the Haldenhang.

Hiking

Ewald gallery, a steel observation tower, from which you have a very good view of the former colliery and the city center of Herten.

Not only the gallery itself, no, the entire dump landscape high above the Ruhr area is - regardless of the very special atmosphere there - a fascination: the constantly changing views of the near and far surroundings are shaped by the seasons, weather and incidence of light so that you have to constantly reorient yourself. wider area
