Where lignite was once mined, today an impressive natural landscape with dunes, lakes, and wild forests stretches out. Today's Nature Discovery Center is the only building left behind by the excavator in the village of Wanninchen. The interactive exhibition and the extensive outdoor area provide fascinating insights into the flora and fauna of this unique post-mining landscape. From the barrier-free viewing platform, you have a magnificent view over Lake Schlabendorf – an ideal place to linger, marvel, and discover nature. www.sielmann-stiftung.de/wanninchen/

Nestled in the heart of the Lower Lusatian Ridge Nature Park lies the Höllberghof – a three-sided farm built from wood, clay, straw, and reeds, faithfully based on a historical model. The complex is complemented by a barn, a cottager's house, and a bakehouse. As an open-air museum and event venue, the farm offers fascinating insights into the lives of past generations, combining rural traditions with modern environmental education. www.höllberghof.com

Very nice cycle path at Schlabendorfer See

One of several shelters with a wonderful view on and of Lake Schlabendorf.

This was the centre of the village of Wanninchen until 1985, when it, like five other villages, fell victim to open-cast lignite mining.

After decades of coal mining, a unique natural paradise with bizarre dunes, new forests, meadows and extensive lakes was created here. Today's nature experience center is the only building that the excavator left behind in the village of Wanninchen. With its panoramic view over the Schlabendorfer Lake and the nature experience areas, it is now a destination for many enthusiastic nature lovers.

Nice covered rest area with a great view.

The town of Wanninchen was demolished in 1985 to make way for open-cast lignite mining. The last remaining house now houses the Sielmann Foundation. It has purchased 3,300 hectares and is allowing nature to take its course.
