The seepage water has now created a small biotope here. It is impressive to see how nature is reclaiming this stone desert bit by bit!

Somewhat undefined section, this highlight. The north side of the lake: Starting from the Nordstrand car park (which can also be used as an ideal starting point for a bike tour), the road runs along the lake (north side). Further along the residential road, after 2km there is only an asphalt cycle path/footpath. It rolls along comfortably, every now and then there is access to the lake. The south side of the lake: A perfectly asphalted cycle path or residential road almost throughout. Only the last stretch towards the east bank is a cycle path of normal quality. But always beautiful views of the lake, fantastic!

In 1944, Mansfeld AG began drilling the Thomas Münzer shaft. After the mined overburden had only been deposited near the shaft, a 900 m long cable car was built over the Brühltal and the Brühlberg for reasons of space. The cable car was carried by six supports that were 11.6 m to 36 m high. It consisted of the suspension cable car, a gondola transfer station from the cable car to the elevator and the tipping station on the heap. From December 22, 1955 to August 10, 1990, the cable car transported dead rock to the heap. The cable car was dismantled in the mid-1990s and since then the "Hohe Linde" has been a visible monument to the former copper slate mining in Sangerhausen.
