The footpath on the slagheap !


Here you can see a small part of the footpath on the slagheap of Prosper-Haniel colliery in the city of Bottrop (Germany). All mining related machines etc. are explained on wooden panels, two of which can be seen in this photo. On the panels there are also the stations of the cross, that lead the visitors up the slagheap until to the peak. It does not happen very frequently that the slagheap is covered with snow so that these photos are very valuable.
