Properties:
At 118 meters, the Haniel slag heap is the highest permanently accessible slag heap in the Ruhrgebiet. Impressive views of the region open up from the wind ridge. The Halden is integrated into a Way of the Cross with 15 stations, which leads to the altar on the plateau and ends at a cross consecrated by Pope John Paul II. The Basque artist Agustin Ibarrola designed 100 totem poles made from railroad sleepers that rise up into the sky. The BergArena, an amphitheater, offers space for around 800 people. The Halden was completed in 2001.
