Hiking

There are 120 steps up the tower and you can see over Africa. The 190 meter long and 27 meter deep lake is so named because it has the exact shape of the continent when viewed from above. You can't swim in Africa, the water is too acidic for that. The power plants in Boxberg and Schwarze Pumpe provide orientation for a long-distance view. If the weather is really good, you can see the Landeskrone Görlitz and the Jizera Mountains. Boards and information can be found on the circular route around Africa. Breaks are possible at small huts and benches.

Since 2012, the Altbergbaugebiet can be traversed on a geotouristischen path and thereby interesting Geotope be visited. The 24m high lookout tower at the mining pier "Afryka" invites you to all-round and far-sightedness.

Observation tower on Lake Africa with a completely stunning view of not only the lake but also the entire area - green and blue (especially in summer) - a total blast!
