I like the Haldenhaus, especially in this weather. When you stand up there and the wind whistles around your ears... just beautiful. 👍😄

It's nice on a May evening when, after the noise and activity of the day have died down, it's still light for a long time.
A May evening is nice when, after a day with a few rain showers, nature smells wonderful, where it seems as if the trees, bushes and flowers are grateful, which is transferred to oneself.
Beautiful …

Since rain was forecast today, we only went for one round on the Norddeutschland slag heap. It was beautiful as always.

The Northern Germany dump is the largest mining dump on the Lower Rhine. This is where all the excitement of the Niederberg mine came from. The Niederberg colliery mined hard coal from 1911 to 2001. With a few exceptions, the mine's daytime facilities have been demolished. The exceptions are industrial monuments. The dump is part of the Industrial Heritage Route.
