Schurenbachhalde, Industrial spoil tip in Altenessen-Süd, Germany
The Schurenbachhalde summit extends across 48 hectares, featuring a forest park leading to the top and a plateau covered in dark gray gravel.
The site accumulated mining waste from Zollverein colliery until the 1950s, after which mechanical mining operations led to the creation of the Schurenbach central heap.
A monumental steel slab created by Richard Serra stands at the summit, measuring 15 meters in height and weighing 70 tons, manufactured in France.
The location offers a 6-kilometer mountain biking circuit connecting to Halde Eickwinkel, with trails beginning at Heßlerstraße and Nordsternpark.
From the plateau, visitors observe panoramic views of Essen's cityscape, Arena Auf Schalke, and industrial zones of Bottrop and Gelsenkirchen.
