The Rungenberg tailings pile, with the adjoining site of the "Hugo" colliery on the north side, invites you to take beautiful walks.

A work of art is installed on top of the heap's highest points (two huge spotlights that send their beams of light into the sky at night).

The Halden plateau is ideal for flying kites.
You also have a very good view of the "Arena" and over the whole of Gelsenkirchen and the surrounding area.

Hiking

The climb from whatever side is good exercise for the body and fitness. Here you can also collect altitude meters in the area...

Hiking

The slag heap, also known as the Rungenberghalde, 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 surface area is around 56 hectares. The slag heap is arched between the former Hugo I / IV and Hugo II / V / VIII mines.
