A bit of stamina is required, if necessary, just get off the bike and push. But once you are at the top you will be rewarded with a magnificent view over half of the Ruhr area. If you do not want to go to the top, you can recommend the balcony promenade. The is located at half height and leads once completely around the heap without major gradients.
