The grounds of the Fürst Leopold colliery are still an exciting destination for many years after the colliery was closed. The core area of the colliery with the winding tower and machine hall is still standing, there is now a well-developed cycle path on the route of the colliery railway. There are also restaurants here, so you can enjoy refreshment in addition to the sightseeing.

In January 1913, the first coal was mined - by the end of the year 39,236 t, the workforce grew to about 450 workers. In 1914, a ring furnace brick was built west of the production shafts, which produced mainly for the colliery colliery. In 1915, the shafts reached their final depths of 895 and 876 m.
2001 was over here.
