The open-pit mining educational route leads through a landscape that has been changed over decades by lignite mining.
The open-pit mining educational route leads through a landscape that has been changed over decades by lignite mining. In 1999, the 2nd Saxon State Garden Show was held here under the motto "Landscape after mining." On this occasion, the educational trail was completed with the support of the Nature Conservation Center 'Zittau Mountains.' Along the educational trail, 13 information panels with text and maps provide information about the mining history as well as special features in nature and landscape after mining.
