Sterkrade Colliery — Shaft 1 Headframe

The listed headframe above Shaft 1 and the associated shaft hall today serve as a reminder of the former Sterkrade mine. The foundation took over the industrial monument in 1997.

HOAG-Trasse

Highlight • Cycleway

A very nice route, the HOAG route

That's what I call sensible recultivation: An old railway line from the colliery traffic of the time was converted into a very recommendable cycle path. There are also plenty of opportunities to take a break with a beautiful panorama.
