In addition to the one in the north, there is also a beautiful viewing point on the west side of the 4th underground building with a bench and a beautiful view of the small lake.

Near the north-running path along the edge of the escarpment is this beautiful vantage point with a view of the 3rd underground mine and excellent views.
