The area is designated as a mountain damage area and extreme caution is required when walking.

For me it was just like my previous speaker. As Gerd has already described a visit is already possible but also dangerous.

The former "Elefantenkopf" opencast mine is located in the now inaccessible mountain damage area. On our way to the Altusknipp we felt like Silke with Yuna & Yomi: We couldn't find a way to the highlight.
