Single trail descent, where there was no trail or gradient earlier. The former mining makes it possible. On the heaps Hoheward and Hoppenbruch today there is a beautiful network of trails on which you can have fun with your bike - and in the middle of the Ruhr area. If you just want to drive a comfortable round with great views, there are plenty of alternatives. Instead of the "jungle downhill" you could also comfortably roll over the "balcony promenade".

The flealy descent on the northern slope of the heap is good for practicing. But beware because in some places a lot of these Bremmsstufen.
