      The core of the project is a largely crossing-free path connection from the Bergheim district of Niederaußem with the power plant to the Hambach opencast mine in Elsdorf on the route of a former long-distance conveyor system. The long-distance conveyor system transported earth and rock, so-called overburden, from the Hambach opencast mine, in which lignite will be mined until 2045, to be backfilled in the Bergheim opencast mine, where the last coal was mined as early as 2002.

        The Niederaussem power plant is a base load power plant operated entirely with lignite by RWE Power.
