Former coal mine in the Hertener south. Definitely suitable for a bike ride. Between the old buildings lead various ways on which times can discover a lot. Highly recommended is the Ewald Cafe, there are very delicious cakes.

Until the late 1990s, it was one of the largest mines in Germany. Today it is a future location, a place for art and culture and the largest slag heap landscape in Europe.
