Halde Lothringen, Coal mining spoil tip summit in Bochum, Germany.

The Halde Lothringen rises 150 meters above ground level, featuring walking paths that wind through revegetated slopes and industrial remnants.

This artificial hill emerged from waste materials extracted during operations at Zeche Lothringen I and II coal mines until their closure in the late 20th century.

The summit includes art installations and information boards that document the transformation of the Ruhr region from industrial activities to recreational spaces.

Designated parking areas and public transportation connections make the site accessible, while marked trails guide visitors to the observation platform.

The site combines industrial heritage preservation with ecological restoration, creating a new landscape where mining waste has been transformed into a public recreation area.
