You can imagine yourself quite well in the history of mining. You can hardly understand the drudgery.

Old remains of the Peterzeche crusher plant, which was partially blown up in the 1920s when the pit was closed in 1917. The whole Halden area, the remains of the buildings and the minerals and color of the water from zinc, lead and iron ore give a very unique picture of early industrialization on the entire site.
