Almost 300 steps lead to the summit of the 115-meter-high heap.

This is where your pulse really gets going🚸💗☺️↗️

⚒️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 of rusted steel - and the radiant light of the spotlights housed within.

The shortest route to the Rungenberg slag heap. There are 300 steps to climb to get to the 360 degree panoramic view over the rest area...
