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.

I can only recommend the dumps, and you should also explore the mine site.

A combination of industrial area, industrial culture and the dark side of globalization. Truckers, mainly from Eastern Europe, have been standing on the site for years, camping in their trucks and waiting for the next load, which can sometimes be seriously delayed...

Admittedly, the approach to the 150m high heap is very strenuous and involves a few meters of altitude, some of which I had to push. But the view makes up for it and on the Halden plateau, which is equipped with a cycle route, there are also beautiful objects to visit with a sundial and horizon observatory, even visible from the A2.

One of the most beautiful industrial cultures for collieries in the Ruhr area.

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 Hoheward heap is the largest heap in Europe and offers beautiful views of the entire Ruhr area at 151 meters above sea level. Together with the nearby Hoppenbruch spoil tip, it forms the impressive Hoheward landscape park.

A huge dump landscape with sundial and horizon observatory as well as great panoramic views of the central Ruhr area.
