A discovery trail leads you through a disused open-cast mining area in the "Land of the Red Rocks". At the time of ore mining, today's nature reserve was bare and the predominant color was red. Today the former mining area has been filled again with dense forests, shrubs, dry grass and ponds, which represent a unique habitat for countless species.
Author’s recommendation
If you want to find out more about the industrial history of the region, you will find it in the nearby "Minett Park Fond-de-Gras".
