Visit Minett

December 9, 2022

Hiking

A tankard was a tipping container installed on a railroad car, into which liquid slag was filled. This was delivered by rail from the Dudelingen ironworks and deposited on the slag heap on the edge of the Haard plateau. From the tankard you can enjoy the wonderful view of one of the longest and most impressive cliffs in all of Europe.

The only monument present along the entire hike. We remember it well because it is the only massive anthropogenic element that we can see!
