A wonderful rest stop on the circular route, which not only offers wonderful views but also perfectly illustrates the history of the open-cast mines. A stylish memorial site for excavated villages, as well as a memorial site with symbolic gravestones from abandoned open-cast mines. Be sure to stop by and take a break!

Definitely a highlight of my circuit! A wonderful vantage point not only because of its elevation, but also because of the stylishly designed memorial site for the excavated villages and the memorial to the closed open-cast mines. There's also a small rest hut for a break. So don't miss this place!

One complaint is that there are no restrooms at the new beach, and the path to the harbor is a long way away. Perhaps a designated area for dogs should be considered! Despite sufficient trash receptacles, some people don't understand their purpose. What a shame!
