The Halde Norddeutschland is a mining dump of the Niederberg mine in Neukirchen-Vluyn.The dumping of the heap by the mine was completed in March 2001. The heap, which is considered a burning heap, has an area of ​​81 hectares and is 102 meters high at its highest point. 80 million tons of rock are stored in the heap.The heap can be seen from the Federal Highway 57. Above all, the "hall house" stands on one of the peaks in the eye. The skeletal house in the form of a steel scaffolding is a work of art of the Dutch group "Observatory", which has also designed other landmarks and objects in the Ruhr area. The house marks several functions in the landscape park Niederrhein: it welcomes passengers on the surrounding highways and is a meeting place and venue that can be rented for private and business events by the Regionalverband Ruhr (RVR).The heap also has a Himmelstreppe, with the direct access to the Haldentop. This 52 meters are overcome. Partly, the staircase rises like a bridge from the bottom to run straight and protect existing vegetation like a reed area.The remodeling was completed at the end of April 2010 with the opening of the approximately 600-meter panorama path. In the evenings, it is marked with 250 LED lamps recessed in the floor. By light-emitting diodes in the handrail of the Himmelstreppe an ascent and descent is possible even in the dark. In addition, the hall house is illuminated.The local sports club has signed a route that is interesting for many endurance athletes and includes three levels of difficulty. The longest and hardest route, which is marked in black, has a length of seven kilometers and must overcome 206 meters of altitude. In addition, there is a special difficulty a small slope, you can not ride on the bike. There is also a red and a blue track - with the latter, however, the Haldentop is not reached.In addition, the heap is used by riders, downhill riders, hikers and walkers, paraglider pilots, hang-gliders and model flyers.
