Halde Haniel, Open-air theatre and mining spoil tip in Bottrop, Germany

The Halde Haniel rises 185 meters above sea level, featuring two spiral formations constructed from mining waste materials from the Prosper-Haniel coal mine.

The mining operations at Prosper-Haniel contributed to the creation of this massive landform, which stands as evidence of the industrial heritage in the Ruhr region.

The outdoor amphitheater, established in 1999, accommodates 800 spectators and presents theater productions and opera performances throughout summer seasons.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with one route from Königshardt extending 5.47 kilometers and including an elevation gain of 140 meters.

Fifteen stations of the cross lead to a monument commemorating Pope John Paul II's 1987 visit, while former mining equipment displays dot the landscape.
