Hiking Highlight
The wonderful view over the surroundings of Castrop-Rauxel and the oversized sundial are worth the effort of the ascent to the former heap and invite you to take a leisurely rest. The distant view is now restricted by the lower-lying tree vegetation, so that one can no longer see the Emschertal.
The hiking highlight is identical to the mountain bike highlight and the bicycle highlight.

Especially in the evening in late spring, summer and early autumn beautiful sunsets with corresponding weather. In this time without visual impairment by the east and north disturbing birch stock. Like from other heaps in the Ruhr area also good far view.

The Schwerin heap - with an area of approx. 14.5 hectares - is the tailings heap of the former Graf Schwerin colliery in Castrop-Rauxel in the district of Schwerin, which was shut down in 1967. Today, at 151 m above sea level, it is the highest elevation in Castrop-Rauxel and towers over the Castrop Heights, at a good 135 m, the highest natural elevations.
