    Wonderful view, the tough climb to the top is worth it on a good day

        The two light cannons on the tips of the south side. From now on again with 1200 watt LED in operation again for the light cross...

          Not a good idea when it's cold and from the east, but it works :)

            An unusual landscape form in the southeast of the Rungenberg slag heap is a landmark by day and by night. Its meaning may not be immediately apparent to drivers on the neighboring motorway or to visitors who do not read the information sign at the Schüngelbergsiedlung entrance. It consists of two walkable but quite steep triangular pyramid halves, which consist of dark waste and thus stand out very clearly from the green slag heap. A deep valley runs in the middle between them.

              Climbing 300 steps really gets your pulse racing 💗☺️🚸↗️.
              ⚒️The Rungenberg slag heap in the Gelsenkirchen-Buer district towers over the former Hugo mine.⚒️
              The slag heap, also known as the Rungenberg slag heap, rises not far from the Schüngelberg mining settlement between the A2 motorway, Horster Strasse and Rungenbergstrasse to a height of 115.3 metres above sea level and around 68 metres above the surrounding area. This makes it one of the highest slag heaps in the Ruhr area. Its area is around 56 hectares. The slag heap is arched between the former Hugo I / IV and Hugo II / V / VIII mines⚒️.
              ⚒️Heaped up from black waste material, two pyramids rise up into the sky, devoid of vegetation and almost inhospitable, forming the double peak of the Rungenberg slag heap. Dark, massive structures crowned by thick tubes made of rusted steel - and the radiant light of the spotlights housed within.

                From up there you have a great view of my hometown.
                You can either climb up in a nice circle...or take the stairs.
                It's worth it. A detour to Hugo is also recommended
