    Tips

    It's worth a stop here. Coal mining at a depth of over 1 km is a bit like scraping the fruit layer out of a cake. Seriously. At the front are the coal planers, equipped with 500 kW motors, planing away the coal seam, constantly advancing. The large blue part supports the upper part of the cake above the coal seam. It's self-supporting, after all. Together with the planer, it moves further and further into the seam, and behind it, the ceiling finally crashes down (at a depth of 1 km!). What a machine and what a workplace!

    The lake was created by dredging sand for the construction of the nearby A30 motorway; a relic of this time stands at the Torfmoorsee with an information board.
