    The heap is part of the colliery system, with the walk-in gauge tower, it has a lookout tower with a perfect overview of the site.

      The views of the old buildings from the heap are pretty good. The dump is easy to climb using a staircase made of old tracks. I can only recommend it.

        The Halde Brockenscheidt is a tailings dump in Waltrop. It is one of the smallest heaps in NRW, but with its track tower
        (a work by the artist Jan Bormann, who built the tower from 1,000m of guide rods of the kind once used in mining, May 2000.)
        and the Stations of the Cross absolutely worth seeing!
