    Hiking

    The paddle wheel is a popular photo spot and place to linger. In addition to the imposing paddle wheel, you can see other mementos of the former mining industry. A small board gives further information.

    Hiking

    The heap of Trages (sometimes also Hochhalde Trages) is an artificially raised, plateau-like hill that was created when the Espenhain open-pit mine was opened up and was named after the neighboring village of Trages. The Trages heap is wooded and represents one of the highest elevations in the Leipzig administrative district.
