Under the underpass where the Holzheide road crosses the "Allee des Wandels" railway line, there are two murals worth seeing entitled "The flame is still burning". They combine motifs of mining with those of cycling. If you are travelling along the railway line, you can take a ramp a few metres southwest of the bridge down to Holzheide road and get to the pictures.

Some sparse information about these and other murals along the "Allee des Wandels" can be found here: hertener-allgemeine.de/herten/farbige-waende-an-der-allee-des-wandels-in-herten-w1755760-8000186040

Beautifully painted walls under the cycle path (bridge). One can only hope that the walls can stay like this and nobody thinks of smearing them...

These impressive murals are located directly under the bridge of the mine railway on the Holzheide/Spanenkamp road
