    The 36 meter high Indemann is a landmark visible from afar due to its size and location on the Goltsteinkuppe spoil tip. You can climb it by stairs or take the elevator comfortably. The view over the lignite mining area is always worthwhile.

      The Indemann is an observation tower, which stands at Lucherberg in the municipality of Inden in the district of Düren on the waste heap Goltsteinkuppe. It was realized as a project within the EuRegionale 2008.

        You can use the elevator or the stairs. No matter how you get up or down the 36 meters, the view is great. It is illuminated in the evening. That's really great.

          The Indemann reminds me a little bit of the Wicker Man... ;-)

            A good place to rest on a tour around the lignite hole, and there is also a toilet.

              In the immediate vicinity of the worth seeing Indemanns is this hidden place, which offers a nice view in the distance and on the open pit.
              Nice place for a little break and a delicious snack!

                The leisure activities around the Indemann is always worth a trip for a day trip. Are offered u.a. Miniature golf, football golf, a playground, snacks, drinks and a restaurant.

                  In addition to the Indemann at the restaurant there is a swath that offers a view of the open pit.

                      I always wanted to go there after seeing him on the Autobahn. Great facility and wide view.

                        The Indemann is always worth a visit. An imposing technical structure with a fantastic all-round view and foresight when the weather is right.

                          Very nice children's playground and great view from the Indemann. Of course, don't forget mini golf and football golf. Always worth a visit for families.

                                  On the Goldsteinkuppe spoil heap, the high Indemann is a landmark visible from afar. After the free climb, partly by elevator, you have a very good view of the lignite mining area. Lots of seating areas, a large playground, a mini golf course and much more ensure plenty of variety for children too.

                                            At a height of 36 meters, the Indemann on the Goltsteinkuppe, where the Indemann leisure center is also located, offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Inden opencast mine and the surrounding landscapes. Another place to experience the change in Indeland is the viewing point in Schophoven. At both places you can see how the landscape of coal mining will develop into a future as a lake landscape (indeland-erleben.de/ausflugsziele/tagebau-inden).
