Single Trails Halde Hoppenbruch

Highlight • MTB Park

One of numerous trails on the Hoppenbruch heap that can be easily combined with one another. So keep your eyes open and just try a new branch. The good thing is that it is almost impossible to get lost on the compact dump site.

Horizon Observatory on Hoheward

Highlight • Monument

There is an official network of mountain bike trails on the Hoheward dump in Herten. Information and the route can be found at: landschaftspark-hoheward.de/hoheward/aktiv/mountainbike.html.

But a trip here is not only worthwhile for this 6.5-kilometer cross-country route. The heap rises more than 100 meters above the surrounding area and the paths up are correspondingly steep. From above you have a fantastic view over the Ruhr area and the southern Münsterland. There is a large sundial and the Hoheward Observatory on the plateau of the heap, which, however, has not been open to the public since shortly after it opened due to construction defects. Enduro riders are out and about on the neighboring Hoppenbruch heap.

Ewald Colliery

Highlight • Historical Site

The site of the former Ewald colliery has been extensively repaired in recent years. A large commercial area has arisen next to it, but the old industrial architecture clearly stands out.

In addition to a somewhat hidden beer garden on the rear side (towards the dump), you can also strengthen yourself at the bakery in front of the winding tower. In addition, the former colliery also houses the Revue Palace and a classic car exhibition.

Schurenbachhalde

Highlight • Structure

Particularly beautiful hall. Not only because of the nice unpaved climb, but also because of the special plateau at the top, where the wind has free play and the special monument catches your eye... only then the view ;-)

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.

Ewald Lake

Highlight • Lake

One glance at the lake is enough for us to want to immerse ourselves in this deep silence. In a figurative sense, of course. So, get off, sit down, and simply let your senses wander.

Wheel of Fortune Exercise: Mindful Inside and Out

Mindfulness has enjoyed a truly successful career in recent years. And that's a good thing! This is certainly helped by the fact that it can be practiced easily and almost anywhere. A brief moment of peace is enough, and we can focus our attention on our perceptions. At the same time, it's not about constantly "immersing" ourselves in the here and now.

You read that right: As with any good and effective training, mindfulness also benefits us most with the right dose – time and intensity. And we can also train it specifically. Try it: Choose specific perceptions from the list below and then focus your attention on them. You'll notice that the boundary between outside and inside is fluid. Tip: If you close your eyes, it will usually be easier.
