    Hiking

    Grube Carl is now a district of Frechen in the Rhein-Erft district on the site of the former Grube Carl mine and briquette factory.

    After the briquette factory was shut down, a new use for the area was found in the area through increased residential development since the mid-1990s. Six of ten factory buildings were preserved, but the machines and the production process were not shown in a museum. The listed buildings "press house", "wet service", "electrostation" and "low pressure boiler house" of the briquette factory were gutted and converted into high-quality loft apartments.
