    Hiking

    The Giele Botter nature reserve in the former Schlammefeld iron ore mine is a particularly beautiful place for hiking. In the deepest parts it is often wet, although after a long hot summer in the autumn of 2026 it was completely dry. The rock is colored orange due to the rusting (oxidation) of the iron in the rock. The excavation is now overgrown with mainly birch trees, but I can imagine that even more biodiversity will emerge here in the coming years.
