From the climbing tower you have a great panoramic view of the entire area and Ronneburg! The access turnstile was out of order and the climb was therefore free! 🤩👍

March 31, 2024,Drachenschwanzbrücke – Grubenlampe als Aussichtspunkt Runde von Ronneburg

Very nice route. It is a former uranium mining area with an entrance fee of €1. But it is very well maintained and worth it. Lots of playgrounds and places to sit down. There is usually more going on at the highlights, but the area is a bit crowded.

Today we went to Ronneburg. We didn't suspect that the tour would go through a similar park. This "park" is open until 6 p.m. The paths are very accessible and perfect for strollers/wheelchairs and bicycles. All in all a very nice tour.

May 18, 2025,Die Neue Landschaft Ronneburg

The "New Ronneburg Landscape" is essentially a renaturalized open-cast mine and two excavated dumps (which were once visible from afar from the highway). It sounds banal, but it's a gigantic project to reclaim old Wismut remains, at least as large as Schlema. Wismut, as is well known, didn't treat nature gently in its hunt for uranium. The large dumps were …

Visiting Ronneburg again. 🚶🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️
A short walk on the 124 hectare site.

The New Landscape Ronneburg is a landscape park in Ronneburg in eastern Thuringia, which was created in a former uranium ore mining area of SDAG Wismut. The 124 hectare park was one of the two exhibition areas of the Federal Garden Show 2007.

Today the path led us through the former Lichtenberg opencast mine, which was converted into a new landscape park as part of the BUGA 2007. I have only visited a few BUGA sites so far, so I can't compare them, unfortunately they all seem to have the same problem: After construction, there is often no longer any money for maintenance, …

An Eldorado for bikers, hikers, walkers - whether big or small. It starts from the Grobsdorfer Straße car park (day ticket 3 €) less than 100 m from the entrance to the landscape park. In 2007 the BuGa Gera/Ronneburg took place here. It is thanks to her that many things worth seeing and useful await visitors in this extensive area. …

February 28, 2023,Suche nach der Grubenlampe 💡👀

A wonderful afternoon of hiking with your best friend in the former mining area of SDAG Wismut, today a local recreation area.
In search of the right way to the accessible map and the miner's lamp that can be seen from afar, we got lost several times 😄😂.
But it is well known that:
The way is the goal 😉
