Clay used to be mined here. Then until the end of the 1980s there was still sand. It is all the more astonishing how nature has recaptured space. The mining has also created an area for rare plants and animals.
A wonderful path leads past this through the forest, which mainly consists of beech trees, on the edge of a valley created long ago by the Rhine.

In today's Jockgrimer Tongruben nature reserve, clay was formerly mined.
Today there are some endangered species living in ponds.
