Terril n°9, Mining spoil summit in Haillicourt, France.

The artificial hill stands 73 meters tall and extends across nine hectares of land in the Nord-Pas de Calais Mining Basin territory.

This conical mound resulted from mining operations at Fosse No 2 bis of Bruay mines during the industrial development of northern France.

The summit represents a transformation of industrial heritage, now part of the UNESCO World Heritage collection of mining sites since 2012.

A spiral road leads visitors to the top of the hill, where they can observe the surrounding landscape and mining region features.

The summit includes a vineyard plantation at its peak, distinguishing it from other mining spoil heaps in the northern French region.
