The Beerwalde dump is a landmark of the community of Lobichau that can be seen from afar. It symbolizes a piece of mining history and the new beginning for people and nature in this region. Resurrection Aurora combines today's revival of the landscape and the memory of the former local mining industry, for which Aurora, the goddess of light, was the symbol of the happy rise.

Here you will also find the so-called Hainwieseneiche, a beautiful old English oak tree that has unfortunately already lost part of its crown. Nevertheless, it is still worth seeing.
