Pause here to enjoy the view of the slag heap. Slag heaps are artificial hills of waste material that are created during mining, especially coal. The material, consisting of sand, stones and shale, was often dumped after the mining process. The slag heaps are overgrown with grass and shrubs, and today form striking landscape elements.
