    Currently the best vantage point for the Welzow South opencast mine in the coming years.
    View of the F60 overburden conveyor bridge and the pre-cutting excavator possible.

      A visit to active mining is worth it

        Great view of the mining area, right next to the conveyor belt.

          It is exciting to see how lignite is mined

            There is a lot to discover on the Niederlausitzer Bergbau Tour 👍😃🚲

              A look back into prehistoric times - so to speak.

                Thanks to good "connections" and a private tour, I went down there myself a few years ago (Jänschwalde opencast mine), rode a few meters on the F60, then stood at the coal layer. Simply gigantic. GDR technology from 1974, still working, unfortunately only the sun and wind generate the electricity now.

                  The viewing point offers a good view of the open-cast mine.

                    Is it a positive or negative highlight - that's up to everyone. Industrially, it's quite interesting, but sustainably it's rather repulsive!

                      Interesting view of the open-cast mine in full operation. Unfortunately, the viewing point was "occupied" by a horde of tourists from two coaches.

                        From here you have a good view of the (still) active Welzow-Süd opencast mine (as of July 2024).

                          A must if you are in the area. Easy to ride paths and only the occasional road.
