    Unfortunately it is not foreseeable when you will be able to enter the plateau again, cracks on the weld seams. Hopefully it will not be torn down.
    Halde Hoheward and the smaller Halde Hoppenbruch form the largest slag heap landscape in the Ruhr area, many great bike / hiking trails, circular courses, viewing platforms, trails, a trip is worthwhile, whether on foot or by bike.
    Great view of the Ruhr area at an altitude of 152m.
    The horizon observatory and the sundial are really beautiful buildings.

    One learns that in the Ruhr area more green than gray prevails, which can be determined beyond doubt on the round trip and the view from the observatory.
