Obelisk and Sundial on Hoheward Slag Heap
Highlight • Monument
The sundial, which is around 3,000 square meters in size, is located on the south plateau (140 meters). A stainless steel obelisk with a height of 8.65 meters and a weight of 1.5 tons acts as a pointer. Its shadow lines make it possible to read the date and time on the circular plane with a diameter of 62 meters. 🧭

Horizon Observatory on Hoheward
Highlight • Monument
But a trip here is not only worthwhile for this 6.5-kilometer cross-country route. The heap rises more than 100 meters above the surrounding area and the paths up are correspondingly steep. From above you have a fantastic view over the Ruhr area and the southern Münsterland. There is a large sundial and the Hoheward Observatory on the plateau of the heap, which, however, has not been open to the public since shortly after it opened due to construction defects. Enduro riders are out and about on the neighboring Hoppenbruch heap.

Wheel of Fortune Exercise: Mindful Inside and Out
Mindfulness has enjoyed a truly successful career in recent years. And that's a good thing! This is certainly helped by the fact that it can be practiced easily and almost anywhere. A brief moment of peace is enough, and we can focus our attention on our perceptions. At the same time, it's not about constantly "immersing" ourselves in the here and now.
You read that right: As with any good and effective training, mindfulness also benefits us most with the right dose – time and intensity. And we can also train it specifically. Try it: Choose specific perceptions from the list below and then focus your attention on them. You'll notice that the boundary between outside and inside is fluid. Tip: If you close your eyes, it will usually be easier.
