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.

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.

The Rhein-Elbe dump is always worth a visit. Once at the top, you can enjoy a good view over parts of the Ruhr area.

The fire lookout towers in the “Die Haard” and “Hohe Mark” forest areas make an important contribution to fighting forest fires. The 39 meter high steel truss tower Farnberg is manned by a fire watch in times of increased risk of forest fires. It can be climbed publicly all year round up to below the viewing platform.

When the weather is nice, you certainly have a great view of the surrounding landscape. 😊

The Rheinelbe dump is well enough with the heavenly staircase on it. In good weather you have a great view. 😊

Nice view from the Himmelsleiter in all directions. Unfortunately, everything is smeared with graffiti, even billboards and 'sculptures' memorial stones. It's a shame.

The height of the Rheinelbe dump above the surrounding area is 46 meters. Looks great from up here.
