The highlight of this former mine dump are the two pyramid-like peaks separated by a gap. At night, the two impressive spotlights complete the image of a pyramid. The wide panoramic view and the diverse hiking options on the dump make it a great local recreation destination.

Blast furnace 5, with its height of more than 70 meters, is the undisputed landmark of the landscape park. Where smelting used to take place around the clock and according to all the rules of the art, today, after a short climb, you can enjoy one of the most breathtaking views of the landscape park, Duisburg and the entire western Ruhr area. The blast furnace and its viewing platform are free, open all year round and around the clock, except in the event of snow, storms and ice. By the way: The blast furnace is part of the Hüttenwerk monument, where you can also learn all sorts of things about the industry of the Ruhr area thanks to an industrial history circular route.

The house is a part of a building complex in which the guest's house is also located. It was named after the last owner, the Junker industrial family. The building has belonged to the municipality of Hürtgenwald since the 1990s. The entire building complex consists of a two-story semi-detached house with a massive basement made of quarry stone and an upper floor made of half-timbered buildings, which adjoins the remains of a possibly former defensive tower made of quarry stone. The building was entered into the list of architectural monuments in Hürtgenwald on July 14, 1983 under number 14. The text of the monument description reads: “Inscriptional dating on the lintel 1651, renovated in 1773; (1723 according to Peters). Eaves-mounted, 2-storey semi-detached house, basement made of solid quarry stone, upper floor half-timbered; Connected to the northwest are the remains of possibly a former defensive tower made of quarry stone with cross-frame windows and half cross-frame windows with walls made of sandstone and bluestone, remains of an embrasure; the house in the basement with cross-story windows with bluestone walls; On the street front there is an entrance on the right and left, on the right there is a baroque pillar door with original nails, bluestone walls, the date in the flat arched lintel; left nailed door with wrought iron door knocker; the framework of the upper floor was largely renewed; Windows in old proportions, the rear eaves made entirely of quarry stone; completely renewed gable roof.

The Recklinghausen artist Herman Prigann incorporated the former heap of rubble into an art concept: in the years that followed, a kind of adventure landscape for the triad of people, nature and technology emerged from the industrial wasteland, on which forest and vegetation have been able to spread since the colliery was closed. Paths arranged in a spiral lead up to the roughly ten meter high "Stairway to Heaven"; In the "Sculpture Forest" there are remains of demolished industrial plants, which only on closer inspection reveal themselves as works of art made of concrete, steel and natural materials.

Halde Hohewart is always worthwhile, especially when the weather is nice, then you have a view over the entire beautiful Ruhrpott ☀️👍⚒
