    Impressive quartz mine in the middle of the forest! The sheer dimensions of the area, including the bright blue mine lake, the countless construction machines and the huge mountains of material that are piled up meters high here, are truly breathtaking!

    In winter you can take a look over the wall into the quartz pit with the bright blue water.

    Water color has something of beach flair.
