On industrial wasteland in the middle of the Ückendorf district, a forest landscape has developed naturally over the course of decades on the old Rheinelbe colliery site. The highlight of this Rheinelbe industrial forest is in the truest sense of the word the 85 meter high spiral mountain of the Rheinelbe spoil tip in the south. The artist Herman Prigann created the “Stairway to Heaven” on the Halden Plateau. It consists of the concrete relics of a Dortmund colliery and towers into the sky like an Aztec.
