In 1994, the idea arose to preserve part of the last overburden dump of the Meuro opencast mine as a pier. The 66 m long discharge boom with mast and cable guying was saved from scrapping. As a pier, it is at the same time a testimony to the mining tradition and the first sign of a new beginning as a seaside town. The pier on the artificially created Großräschener Lake looks impressive. Vines grow on the slope. There is also a center and guided tours here. Personally, everything was too concrete for me and there are hardly any shady places.

The Reppister Höhe viewpoint on the southern shore of Lake Großräschen offers a wide view over the Lusatian landscape, with the town of Senftenberg in the south and Großräschen on the opposite shore of the lake in the north. The seven places excavated for the Meuro opencast mine are reminiscent of their outlines on a scale of 1:150 as well as steles with the place names: Bückgen, Großräschen-Süd, Anna-Mathilde, Rauno, Reppist, Sauo and Birkenhain. As a further symbol of the mining region, there is a steel frame from the Lauchhammerwerk including an excavator bucket at the viewing point.
