    Hiking

    In 1987, an almost completely preserved forest elephant skeleton was excavated in the former Gröbern opencast mine. The site is on the edge of the Gröberner See and is marked by a sign. The approximately 125,000 year old skeleton can now be seen in the State Museum of Prehistory in Halle.
