The former "Cox" dolomite mine is located in Bergisch Gladbach. In 1969 a dolomite deposit was discovered here in the Lerbach Forest. Mining continued here until 1985. In 1996 the Cox pit was declared a nature reserve.

The pit Cox is still a very young quarry: only in 1969 a dolomite deposit of special purity was discovered here in the middle of the Lerbacher Wald. Until 1985 dolomite was mined in the open pit and glass works supplied in Cologne-Porz. After decommissioning, the building was supposed to be poured down again, but numerous animal and plant species settled down. Therefore, the pit Cox was officially declared in 1996 as conservation. Today you can explore the area on a circular route.
