Former Nordfeld Loading Ramp

Highlight • Historical Site

This is where the coal that was extracted from the tunnel mouth hole was loaded. After being transported out of the tunnel, it was transported to this loading station on a narrow-gauge cable car. Here it was automatically loaded onto the standard-gauge railway and transported to the Jägersburg station.
This former loading wall is now a listed building.

Höchberg Tower

Highlight • Monument

From the highest elevation of the Saarpfalz you have a great view. The key to the tower can be found in the restaurant next door. The hardships are worthwhile! Various cycle paths continue from the tower, for example to St. Wendel.
