Unfortunately, the name of the highlight is a bit misleading, it should rather be called an open pit pond. Still a wonderful place.

Hiking

The north-western part of the nature reserve is characterized by an approximately 15-hectare opencast mining lake and a mosaic of pioneer forest, calcareous grassland, orchid meadows and grass and herbaceous meadows.
Rush, bulrush and reed beds can be found on the shore of the open-cast mining lake.

Haverlahwiese opencast mine: Iron ore was mined from 1937 to 1967 by Reichswerke and Salzgitter AG. Incredibly, it was once the largest iron ore mine in Germany and, at times, in Europe.
