Halde Rheinelbe

The unused on the upper meters of the heap Rheinelbe in the south of Gelsenkirchen is like a lunar landscape and is therefore very popular among the dirt bikers. There is a lot to discover here: many of them lead very steep and challenging trails down into the woods at the foot of the heap. In a private blog, the heap is very beautifully described: meinmtb.de/touren/29-noch-viel-zu-lernen-halde-rheinelbe

On the summit there is the Himmelstreppe as a landmark and from the top you have a beautiful panoramic view over the middle Ruhr area. Especially at sunset, the panorama is wonderful!

Horny view from there Above!

Nice view and a concrete tower.

Great landmark, reminiscent of the time of the mines.

Good to reach, even without MTB.

Also this heap must be seen and of course the Himmelstreppe as a landmark.

Halde Rheinelbe is located right on the time at the newly planned
Construction of the Radschnellweg - RS1 (south side) and the Erzbahn line BO - Essen
(North side) Easy to reach from both sides
two ways to the approximately 40 meter high heap
 (seen over the bottom) and 106.2 meters above sea level
In the eastern part of the heap a few small trails for MTB'er.

Great view! it really worth it to climb the heap !!

You can boot up the heap well and the view from the top is really great. The shutdown of the trails is still the most fun!
