    Lignite mined in Garzweiler is mainly burned in the region's power plants, while transport from Garzweiler to the Frimmersdorf power plant and the Neurath power plant takes place both via the RWE Power AG railway, also known as the North-South railway, and via belt conveyors.

    The pit rim is easy to drive north. The sight is huge (.. to throw up).

    Good view of the pit. At the same time, it was always fascinating what a huge hole man had dug into the earth and yet so sad what was sacrificed (and still is) for it.
