Großes Holz spoil heap

Big wood heap of adventure“Bergkamen Alps”: Big wood heap • House Aden 1 and 2 heaps • Monopol heapAlmost like a pimple on the surface of the earth, the tailings dump in the Lippe lowlands in the district of Unna is the fourth highest of its kind in the area and the highest in the eastern Ruhr area. Seen from a great distance, the slopes seem to rise steeply to an unusually high mountain in the midst of the plains. With an area of almost 200 hectares, the area between the Bergkamen suburb of Oberaden and the Datteln-Hamm canal turns out to be the second-largest heap landscape in the Ruhr area after the Hoheward Landscape Park and is therefore also one of the largest heaps of overburden on the European continent. Here previously there was an extensive forest area, a dense beech forest in the Kamer Mark with the name Großes Holz, from which the name is derived.ruhrgebiet-industriekultur.de

At the top of the heap you will be rewarded with a wonderful all-round view!

We drove down from the plateau to the Erich-Ollenhauer-Straße parking lot. Uih but it needs brakes that are fit. We didn't want to drive up there.So drove up to the left. The ascent to the Haldenkopf (plateau) seems easier for inexperienced people coming from the Waldstraße car park (at the bastion).
