Schwarzer Berg, Mining spoil tip in Eschweiler Wald, Germany.
The Schwarzer Berg rises 250.1 meters above sea level, featuring a wooden cross at its summit and offering views over Eschweiler's downtown districts.
From 1888 until World War II, a cable car system transported mining waste from the Reserve mine near Nothberg to create this artificial elevation.
The mountain serves as a symbol of Eschweiler's mining heritage, with 120 steps leading to its peak where visitors gather to observe the surrounding landscape.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit, including the 14.6-kilometer Duffenter pond trail and the 9.92-kilometer Riffersbach & Bank loop.
The base area spans 20 hectares and contains the former Heinrich shaft, which operated from 1857 to 1891 for water management in the Centrum mine.
