Not a route hike, but diligently walked up many, many steps. If I didn't miscount, there were at least 613 steps. And on top of that I was able to overcome my fear of heights and am up to the top platform of the tetrahedron. 🤩

After visiting the Zollverein mine in Essen, we went a little further to Bottrop. There, on the former Beckstrasse slag heap, there is an art object: the Tetrahedron.

The Emscherblick slag heap event, or Tetrahedron for short, is a walkable viewing terrace in the shape of a three-sided pyramid on the Beckstrasse slag heap in the Bottrop district of Batenbrock. …

Another highlight around Bottrop that wanted to be climbed was the tetrahedron. A steel construction with a height of 60m and about 183 steps to the top platform. From up here, too, a magnificent distant view of the surrounding area. 😊

October 13, 2024,G Bottrop: Tour zum Tetraeder

A short tour on the way: Tetrahedron Bottrop.
The path led from the car park along a beautiful serpentine path directly up to the Tetrahedron. Assuming you don't suffer from vertigo, the view from the highest platform is slanting and beautiful. Although there was no wind in the valley, you had a stormy haircut on the platform! The Diretissima staircase …

The Halden are the mountains of the Ruhr area 😉. Each one has its own special qualities. I love them all. What they all have in common is the view from up here. Especially in this weather. ☀️
