This short hike starts from the Herzkamp car park. It's a cozy get-together with many memories of the times of mining in Sprockhövel-Gennebreck. A cradle of coal mining in the Ruhr area stood in the Sprockhövel area. This is where the seams come to light, and here the coal could easily be 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 a lovable originality.
