So-called slag heaps are formed from the overburden that is created when extracting coal and that is deposited on the surface of the earth. Millions of tonnes of rock are stored in these hills. With a height of more than 100 metres in some cases, these slag heaps stand out from afar in the lowlands of the Lower Rhine. Today, they are green and popular destinations for active holidaymakers.<\/p>\n<p>The work of art \u2018Geleucht\u2019 (Miner\u2019s Lamp) by Otto Piene is visible from a considerable distance on the \u2018Halde Rheinpreu\u00dfen\u2019 near Moers. The 28-metre-high monument is in the shape of an oversize miner\u2019s lamp, installed on the coal mine overburden. It\u2019s considered the world\u2019s largest mining work of art and commemorates the miners and steelworkers along the Rhine and Ruhr rivers. In the evening, the Miner\u2019s Lamp is bathed in fiery red light. Even the tower is accessible \u2013 like the whole slag heap, from which you have a fantastic view of the Lower Rhine.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;60px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-3 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8&#8243;]<div class=\"owl-carousel owl-theme layout-standard-2\"  data-owl-carousel-options=\"{&quot;responsive&quot;:{&quot;0&quot;:{&quot;items&quot;:1,&quot;margin&quot;:10,&quot;loop&quot;:false,&quot;nav&quot;:true,&quot;dots&quot;:true,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false},&quot;576&quot;:{&quot;items&quot;:1,&quot;margin&quot;:10,&quot;loop&quot;:true,&quot;nav&quot;:true,&quot;dots&quot;:true,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false},&quot;768&quot;:{&quot;items&quot;:1,&quot;margin&quot;:10,&quot;loop&quot;:true,&quot;nav&quot;:true,&quot;dots&quot;:true,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false},&quot;992&quot;:{&quot;items&quot;:1,&quot;margin&quot;:10,&quot;loop&quot;:true,&quot;nav&quot;:true,&quot;dots&quot;:true,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false},&quot;1200&quot;:{&quot;items&quot;:1,&quot;margin&quot;:10,&quot;loop&quot;:true,&quot;nav&quot;:true,&quot;dots&quot;:true,&quot;autoplay&quot;:false}},&quot;stagePadding&quot;:0,&quot;center&quot;:false,&quot;animateIn&quot;:false,&quot;animateOut&quot;:false,&quot;mouseDrag&quot;:true,&quot;touchDrag&quot;:true,&quot;navText&quot;:[&quot;&lt;span aria-label=\\&quot;Previous\\&quot;&gt;\\u2039&lt;\\\/span&gt;&quot;,&quot;&lt;span aria-label=\\&quot;Next\\&quot;&gt;\\u203a&lt;\\\/span&gt;&quot;]}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/stadt-land-niederrhein.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Das-Geleucht-auf-der-Halde-Rheinpreussen-1-681x1024.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"f401d1\" style=\"background-image: url( https:\/\/stadt-land-niederrhein.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Das-Geleucht-auf-der-Halde-Rheinpreussen-1-681x1024.jpg )\" class=\"noAccessibilityResize\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-copyright\"><div class=\"micro\">\u00a9 Johannes H\u00f6hn<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/stadt-land-niederrhein.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/das-geleucht-bei-nacht-auf-der-halde-rheinpreu-en-682x1024.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"f401d1\" data-title=\"Das Geleucht bei Nacht auf der Halde Rheinpreu\u00dfen\" style=\"background-image: url( https:\/\/stadt-land-niederrhein.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/das-geleucht-bei-nacht-auf-der-halde-rheinpreu-en-682x1024.jpg )\" class=\"noAccessibilityResize\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-copyright\"><div class=\"micro\">\u00a9 Johannes H\u00f6hn, Niederrhein Tourismus GmbH<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/stadt-land-niederrhein.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/das-geleucht-auf-der-halde-rheinpreu-en-768x1024.jpg\" data-lightbox=\"f401d1\" data-title=\"Das Geleucht auf der Halde Rheinpreu\u00dfen\" style=\"background-image: url( https:\/\/stadt-land-niederrhein.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/das-geleucht-auf-der-halde-rheinpreu-en-768x1024.jpg )\" class=\"noAccessibilityResize\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image-copyright\"><div class=\"micro\">\u00a9 Annika Zingel, Niederrhein Tourismus GmbH<\/div><\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-3 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;lead text-center&#8221;]This ladder seems endless: via a \u2018stairway to heaven\u2019 with 359 steps, you reach the more than 100-metre-high massif of the \u2018Halde Norddeutschland\u2019, a former slag heap from the Niederberg coal mine in Neukirchen-Vluyn. A skeleton-shaped steel frame at the top draws the eye. Called the \u2018Hallenhaus\u2019, it\u2019s also illuminated in the evenings to create a very special atmosphere. The plateau of the slag heap can be explored via an extensive network of hiking trails. And this is a very good spot from which to observe hang gliders who have secured themselves a good launch site on the slag heap. A fascinating event just before the setting sun.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Millicher Halde\u2019 can be found in the far south of the Lower Rhine, an overburden slag heap from the Sophia-Jacoba coal mine in H\u00fcckelhoven. A steep staircase with 400 steps leads to the observation tower, which opens the view to the Eifel mountain range and the Rur Plains from a height of 70 metres. There\u2019s also an extensive network of hiking trails with lots of vantage points and one curiosity: a small vineyard.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;60px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-3 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8&#8243;][vc_raw_html]JTNDaW1nJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDIyJTJGMDglMkZhcnJvdy1yZWQtZG93bi5zdmclMjIlMjBjbGFzcyUzRCUyMnN2Zy1pbmplY3QlMjBteC1hdXRvJTIwZC1ibG9jayUyMiUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-3 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8&#8243;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;lead text-center&#8221;]What are you waiting for?
