    Imposing view of the opencast mine. Lately locked (unfortunately). With a little luck, there will also be an ice cream truck here on the weekend.

        The view into the open pit is breathtaking. When you consider that the largest excavator is almost 100m high and weighs 13 tons, the proportions become really clear. The total mining area is 66 km² for Garzweiler I and 48 km² for Garzweiler II. A total of 7 excavators are in use for this.
