In the Ferropolis open-air museum you can take a journey into the past and into the future. Ferropolis, the city of iron, was energy and technology. Today, this gray everyday work life breathes the most colorful culture. Ferropolis makes you think, but is also relaxation in nature.
Five heavy excavator giants, each with its own story, on a peninsula in the middle of the Gremminer See.
Two large opencast mines are accessible - one of which can even be accessed barrier-free with an elevator. From there you can let your gaze wander over the peninsula.
Relaxation at the lake with small sections of beach is also provided, I enjoyed it...

Ferropolis Bike Station – German Unity Cycle Route

Highlight • Rest Area

New types of bike centers were built along the German Unity Cycle Path. They all have the same design approach, but are equipped differently. From simple information stations to rest areas and storage facilities for bicycles and luggage, everything is there. They represent an important contribution to the unifying effect of the German Unity Cycle Path.

Here you will find a charging locker where you can charge your e-bike.

Ferropolis – the City of Iron Open-Air Museum

Highlight • Monument

A fascinating, unique open-air museum of the region's mining history. Since last year it is also possible to pitch your tent in Ferropolis or travel by camper and spend a night or more among the iron giants. You can find more information at ferropolis.de.

By the way: since 2020 you can swim in the Gremminer See just around the corner. Small boats are also allowed. And if you don't have a bike with you, you can rent one here.

Ferropolis

Highlight • Monument

Open-air museum and event arena on the peninsula of the former site of the lignite mine near Graefenhainichen. Lignite was mined until 1991 and the landscape was dug up. To do this, an entire village - Gremmin - was razed to the ground. The opencast mine has been closed since reunification. Today Ferropolis is a living museum full of history.

Since last year it has also been possible to pitch your tent in Ferropolis or to travel by camper and spend a night or several among the iron giants. You can find more information at: ferropolis.de

By the way: You have been able to swim in Lake Gremminer See just around the corner since 2020. Small boats are also allowed. And if you don't have a bike with you, you can also rent one here.
