Halde Hoppenbruch, Mining waste hill in Herten, Germany.
The Halde Hoppenbruch rises 113 meters above the surrounding landscape, featuring a wind turbine at its summit and multiple hiking trails along its slopes.
Between 1978 and 1992, mining operations from Ewald and General Blumenthal mines accumulated 34 million tons of material to form this artificial elevation.
The site serves as a key location on the Route of Industrial Heritage, showcasing the transformation of mining infrastructure into recreational spaces.
Mountain bikers can explore 4.4 kilometers of enduro trails maintained by the local cycling club, with three official descent routes of varying difficulty.
The wind turbine installed in 2016 generates double the power of its predecessor, preventing 32,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions through renewable energy production.
