Bergehalde Rheinpreußen

Feel that breeze on your face? Look around and let your eyes wander over the Ruhr region. To your left, there's the impressive Geleucht, a giant mining lamp that glows warmly red at night. Behind you, off in the distance, stands the Moers telecommunication tower—a silent sentinel over the landscape. Did you know that Rheinpreußen was built from millions of tons of mining residue? Today, it stands as a symbol of the region's transformation from industrial roots to green spaces. On clear days, you can see all the way to the Lower Rhine. And as the sun sets, the sky turns into a canvas of colors—definitely a sight worth catching.
