The Wilsberg spoil heap is a rather small slag heap located in Herzogenrath-Kohlscheid. The spoil originates from the Laurweg mine, whose shafts were filled in 1966. From the top, there is a beautiful view to the south towards the Lousberg and the edge of the Eifel region, and as far north as Kerkrade.
