Unfortunately it is not foreseeable when you will be able to enter the plateau again, cracks on the weld seams. Hopefully it will not be torn down.
Halde Hoheward and the smaller Halde Hoppenbruch form the largest slag heap landscape in the Ruhr area, many great bike / hiking trails, circular courses, viewing platforms, trails, a trip is worthwhile, whether on foot or by bike.
Great view of the Ruhr area at an altitude of 152m.
The horizon observatory and the sundial are really beautiful buildings.

Panorama Bridge Halde Hoheward

Sky Bridge also called "Panorama Bridge".
Brilliant idea to build a bridge that also serves as a platform for a great panoramic view.

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.

Unfortunately, I didn't count the steps, but there were quite a few to get from the Ewald Colliery to the slag heap plateau. There must be at least 300 steps, which can take your breath away, before you can enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the Ruhr region from the slag heap plateau.

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.
