At about 107 meters above sea level are the widely visible water towers of Gelsenwasser in Herten. They are located on the Westerholter road just outside the district Scherlebeck near the A43 motorway. Due to their exposed location, the blue-green water tanks are widely visible and a landmark in the area. Within sight of the towers is the highest natural point Hertens, one looks from the artificial landscape buildings next to the nearby colliery Scherlebeck and the dump Hoheward. They serve the water supply of the environment and generate by the altitude the necessary water pressure in the pipeline network.

Ewald Colliery

Highlight • Historical Site

The site of the former Ewald colliery has been extensively repaired in recent years. A large commercial area has arisen next to it, but the old industrial architecture clearly stands out.

In addition to a somewhat hidden beer garden on the rear side (towards the dump), you can also strengthen yourself at the bakery in front of the winding tower. In addition, the former colliery also houses the Revue Palace and a classic car exhibition.
