    Hiking

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

    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.
    Translated by
    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.
