Schurenbachhalde

Highlight • Structure

Particularly beautiful hall. Not only because of the nice unpaved climb, but also because of the special plateau at the top, where the wind has free play and the special monument catches your eye... only then the view ;-)

Schurenbachhalde

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Schurenbachhalde in the north of Essen is the city's largest. Once you've found the way to the top, numerous, partly beautifully prepared single trails lead down. On the large summit plateau, there is an upright, huge slab as a landmark, which is visible from afar.

The view from the top offers you a panoramic view of the heart of the Ruhr area. To the south lies Essen with its many skyscrapers at the main station, where corporate headquarters are located. To the east, you see the white roof of the Arena Auf Schalke, and to the north and west, the chimneys of the extensive industrial areas of Essen, Bottrop, and Gelsenkirchen smoke on both sides of the Rhine-Herne Canal. A Pilsner up here (you have to bring your own, you can't buy anything here) at sunset is pure Ruhrpott romance!
