    Hiking

    From the lignite mining and the consequences for the environment, the subsequent use with the lake and forest 🌳 is now being worked on. A wonderful natural area will definitely be created here!

    Nice big hole! When all of this is finished and flooded, Schöningen has everything for tourism:
    Hill - forest - lake - culture, many old sights in the vicinity and the former inner-German border!
    What more do you want ! 👍😃

    If you want to visit a big hole, this is the place for you. The former opencast mine will be renatured and can be used as a local recreation area and protected area in the future. But that still takes a long time!
