Everyone knows the Spreewald. Dresden, too. But Lower Lusatia, right in between, is still largely uncharted territory. Lignite was mined here starting in the mid-19th century. That came to an end in 1992. The open-pit mine was closed, and the remaining pits were flooded. Today, there are no more mines—just an idyllic lake landscape.
The F60 conveyor bridge remained standing. At 502 m long, 204 m wide, and 80 m high, it is a giant of industrial heritage. Today, the F60 is a visitor mine that you can explore on a guided tour. Of course, you’ll also get to climb around on the massive conveyor bridge. Your camper is parked on the spacious grounds of the visitor mine, away from the crowds and set against the backdrop of the world’s largest movable industrial machine.
The F60 conveyor bridge is also known as “the reclining Eiffel Tower.” Even when lying down, this tower is clearly visible from afar and tells the story of the past.
The present, on the other hand, is peaceful and idyllic. You stand at the edge of the forest, and instead of the noise of mining, you hear the soft chirping of birds and see Lake Bergheider. It’s just a short walk to the lake’s beach. Vast forests and numerous lakes now characterize the landscape, which you can explore on foot, by bike, or on the water.

We were there for 3 days and it was great. We were able to find a nice, quiet spot and had a great view of the F 60. We also got a key, and starting at 6:00 p.m., we had the grounds all to ourselves. We took lovely walks in the adjacent forest and down to the lake, where the dogs had a great time. The staff was also really nice. We’ll definitely be back.
A very nice spot located on a terrace with a view of the magnificent F60! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the route to the campsite initially indicated (immediately after the entrance gate) wasn’t suitable for travel trailers (no problem for vans or two-axle vehicles). Travel trailers can—and must—drive directly up the ramp onto the lawn!
Everyone was very nice
We received a super warm welcome; everything was just as described, and it really is a lovely, quiet spot to spend some time with a camper or roof tent. We can definitely recommend it.
I spent two days at this campground with its impressive scenery. The drive there was a bit confusing because of the missing Hinterland sign—I actually drove right past it at first. The reception staff and everyone else there were very friendly. The campground itself isn’t anything special, were it not for the imposing conveyor bridge. There’s water, electricity when you need it, restrooms, and trash disposal. Since the entire grounds are locked up in the evening, you’re given a key so you can get through any gate. I was there alone, but I always felt very safe. The lake right nearby is great. The water, though it has a brownish tint, is clean and only occasionally visited by other swimmers. But the best part is that dogs are allowed to swim here and have fun. You should definitely take a guided tour of the conveyor bridge—it’s a testament to impressive engineering. Thank you—I’ll definitely be back.
