The Lusatian and Central German Mining Management Company (LMBV) built this 33 meter high observation tower in 2002 near the south-east corner of the Halden plateau. With the right weather conditions, you have distant views of the Ore Mountains, the Thuringian woodland and the Petersberg near Halle (Saale).

The heap of Trages (sometimes also Hochhalde Trages) is an artificially raised, plateau-like hill that was created when the Espenhain open-pit mine was opened up and was named after the neighboring village of Trages. The Trages heap is wooded and represents one of the highest elevations in the Leipzig administrative district.
