Terril n°2, Mining slag heap summit in Ruitz, France.

Terril number 2 of Bruay Est reaches a height of 100 meters and extends over 12 hectares in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais mining region.

The slag heap developed through gradual accumulation of coal mining waste materials from pit number 6 of the Bruay mines.

The slag heap stands as evidence of local industrial heritage and serves as a territorial marker for residents of the mining region.

Visitors can access the site for hiking activities and explore the vegetation that has naturally developed on its slopes.

This conical slag heap, maintained in its original state without subsequent exploitation, contains plant and animal species adapted to its specific environment.
