The Harkortturm, a lookout tower on the Harkortberg in Wetter (Ruhr), was built in 1884 in memory of Friedrich Harkort. The design by Düsseldorf architects Otto van Els and Bruno Schmitz won an architectural competition, although the construction costs were ultimately higher than planned. With a height of 35 meters, the tower offers a panoramic view over the Harkortsee to the Sauerland. Its architecture imitates medieval castles and is part of historicism. The tower originally housed a restaurant with a pavilion and beer garden before it was transferred to the municipality of Wetter in 1907. In 2009, a renovation was carried out to mark the 125th anniversary. The Harkort Tower is a listed building and is part of the Industrial Heritage Route. It is an important architectural monument and a popular tourist destination that combines history, architecture and picturesque views.

The Schwerin slag heap is the spoil heap of the former Graf Schwerin mine in Castrop-Rauxel in the Schwerin district, which was closed in 1967. At 151 m above sea level, it is now the highest elevation in Castrop-Rauxel and towers over the highest natural elevations of the Castrop Heights at a good 135 m. Great view included.

Built in honor of the Iron Chancellor. Based on the Götterdämmerung design by the architect Wilhelm Kreis

An originally unplanned landfill offers the best view of the entire PHOENIX Lake. It is named after the neighboring Kaiserberg Neuer Kaiserberg, Kaiserberg II or also Phoenixsee-Halde. The (old) Kaiserberg is a natural hill and has been partially dismantled over time. Excess excavated soil from the lake is stored here on the new landfill.

From the top of the heap, visitors can enjoy a view across to the nearby Erin colliery, but also further: to the Florian Tower in Dortmund and the Hoheward heap in Herten. Art in public space can be found not only on the summit, but also on the northern edge of the heap.

The heap of the former Graf Schwerin colliery is today the highest point in the town of Castrop-Rauxel - and one of the best-known landmarks in the region. Which is not least due to the accessible sundial on the top.

Nice view from the top of the lake and Hörde. The mountain was once a landfill.

A particularly nice place to take a break ... even with seating and a view of the distance.
