This short hike starts from the Herzkamp car park. It is a leisurely walk with many memories of the mining days in Sprockhövel-Gennebreck.
One of the cradles of coal mining in the Ruhr region was in the Sprockhövel area. This is where the coal seams come to the surface and where the hard coal could be easily found and mined. In the charming hilly landscape of Sprockhövel, you can experience more than 400 years of mining history in a relaxing and vivid way. Despite all the changes and developments, this old mining region has retained its endearing originality.
