Ruhrhaldenweg, etappe 12: Lohberg - Halde Haniel

De Ruhrhaldenweg is een 580 km lange lange-afstands-wandellus die de terrils, tuinwijken en voormalige mijnen van de Ruhrmetropool met elkaar verbindt. Een keten van voetwegels, jaagpaden, kleine en grote straten, omgebouwde spoorlijnen en terrilpaden voert je door het hele Ruhrgebiet, van Moers en Duisburg in het westen tot Dortmund en Bergkamen in het oosten. 
Deze twaalfde etappe vertrekt in het mijnstadje Lohberg en trekt langsheen de gelijknamige terril en de Rotbachvallei naar de uitgestrekte natuurreservaten Kirchheller Heide en Hiesfelder Wald. Kilometers lang loop je over een grillig woudpad naast de even grillige Rotbach om tenslotte de Halde Haniel te bereiken. Deze machtige terril is 184 m hoog en op de top is een openluchttheater gebouwd. Boven krijg je één van de mooiste zichten over het Ruhrgebied die je kan hebben.

The Ruhrhaldenweg is a 580 km long long-distance hiking loop that connects the slag heaps, garden cities and former mines of the Ruhr metropolis. A chain of footpaths, towpaths, small and large streets, converted railway lines and slag heap paths takes you through the entire Ruhrgebiet, from Moers and Duisburg in the west to Dortmund and Bergkamen in the east.
This twelfth section starts in the mining town of Lohberg and leads past the slag heap of the same name and the Rotbach valley to the extensive Kirchheller Heide and Hiesfelder Wald nature reserves. For kilometres, you walk along an erratic forest path next to the equally erratic Rotbach to finally reach the Halde Haniel. This mighty slag heap is 184 m high and an open-air theatre has been built on top of it. Up there you also get one of the most beautiful views of the Ruhr area that you can have.
