Europe's largest basalt open-cast mine has served as a unique film set twice.
In 1968 parts of the film "Death in a Red Jaguar" were shot here. It was the seventh film in the Jerry Cotten series of the 1960s.
In 2013 the film "V8 - You want to be the best" was released. The children's film is a film adaptation of a book by Joachim Masannek.translated by•May 29, 2021
