Interesting, quite barren landscape, especially at this time of year. Most of the paths are wide, so you could easily ride a bike. You can't even imagine how many tons of rock, rubble and earth were moved here to fill and renaturate this large, deep wound. It is remarkable how far nature has already come and the phases are clear …

The dumps near Ronneburg, which were clearly visible from the A4, are still known from the past. They have long since disappeared and the BUGA 2007 presented the New Ronneburg Landscape. Every time I drove past on the highway I always had the plan to take a closer look. Today the rain should stop further west earlier than here, so …

A beautiful circular hike starting at the Ronneburg train station, through the former Wismut mining area, now the "New Landscape" of Ronneburg, to the Kauern Agricultural Cooperative's cow café, and across the Schmirchauer Höhe (Schmirchau Heights), featuring a miner's lamp and a walk-on map.

Today, we explored Ronneburg's New Landscape again—starting at the Eiscafé Nova parking lot. We continued on well-known paths, crossing the Drachenschwanzbrücke (Dragon's Tail Bridge) and then down onto the Lutherweg (Luther Trail), which leads through the former open-cast mining area. At the rest area in Gessental, we turned off toward Kauern and Pohlteich. The landscape changed slightly—it's less dominated by …

No future without a past 🌱🐞🕊️
40 years of uranium ore mining destroyed forests, landscapes and recreational areas in eastern Thuringia. The Ronneburg uranium ore field was the largest uranium ore deposit in Europe!
The mining and processing activities of Wismut left deep traces in the region.
With the political change and the cessation of uranium ore mining, the remediation …

Visited the Buga site again after 16 years and was amazed at how intact and well maintained everything is. The route leads along wide paths with beautiful views of the Schmirchauer Höhe. There is a lookout tower up there in the shape of a miner's lamp. :)
