Viewpoint bench "Sleeping Giant"

Highlight • Viewpoint

Above the slag heap, a themed bench in the shape of a sleeping giant offers a place to rest with a view of the Hagenbach valley.

The legend tells of a strong young man who gained money and wealth through his work, but also body mass. Therefore, it no longer fit into the mine tunnels and had to live from the stone being smashed. At this point he is said to have rested and got company from a tawny owl.

Silver Lake is located in the Lemberg Nature Reserve. It's a great place to relax and take a break. It's a very quiet spot, as it's nestled in a basin.

Trombach Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

One of the most beautiful forest paths I know: a small, babbling brook cuts deep into a narrow valley, accompanied and surrounded by deep green giant trees, which sometimes hardly let any light through down here. I would say almost like in the jungle ... worth seeing and experiencing!

Lemberg Tree Spirits

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Very, very nicely done. With great attention to detail, many little ghosts have been hidden in the trees all the way to the mine. Maybe you'll find them all. A nice idea even for adults. But the kids will love it.

In short: Bavaria on the left, Prussia on the right
Lang: Until 1945 the municipality of Oberhausen, which can be seen through the left ring, belonged to Bavaria. The right ring, on the other hand, overlooks the former Prussia. With the construction of the Luitpold Bridge in 1889, the ferry traffic between the two countries that had been used until then ceased.
