    Tips

    Hiking

    During the ice age, sandy sediments were deposited throughout the Halen area. The resulting drift sand fields and inland dunes began to be mined in the 1960s in order to obtain building sand. The deposits are almost all exhausted today. Some ponds and lakes have emerged, such as Niedringhaussee/Sundermannsee. The small sand pit here shows very clearly a dry mining area above the groundwater table.
