    Hiking

    The Amalienhöhe pit (also called the Dr. Geier pit) is located above Waldalgesheim near Bingen on the edge of the Hunsrück. The listed former manganese and dolomite mine is unique among Germany's industrial monuments due to its architecture. The Amalienhöhe pit has been part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002.

    Some buildings are now rented out as apartments and offices, the rest is mostly used as storage space and warehouse.

    In 2014 the dilapidated headframe was torn down. Since this shaped the surrounding landscape, a reconstruction is being considered.

    The way past it is beautiful. The place as well. The Amalienhöhe is a magnificent sight from afar, unfortunately not so close from near but still impressive.

    It's a shame the grounds are private and not open to the public. It's very impressive and beautiful.
