    Great view of the opencast mine and an excellent place to relax.
    Some wooden loungers are available and a restaurant is in the immediate vicinity.

      The mine is worth a trip. Should be seen by everyone to raise their awareness.

        The Hambach opencast mine is the largest open pit mine operated by RWE Power AG in the Rhenish lignite mining area. It concerns the communities Niederzier, Kreis Düren, and Elsdorf, Rhein-Erft-Kreis.

        The open pit Hambach is due to the accompanying emissions of coal combustion and further environmental destruction controversial, including the clearing of the Hambach forest. Over 1000 years old villages like Manheim have to give way to the open pit.
