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.

An impressive spot with spectacular views 🤩 Communicating with André was easy and relaxed—he took plenty of time to find us a beautiful spot. We’ll definitely be back.

That was a truly amazing experience! We had the place all to ourselves—along with the F60—starting at 6 p.m., and the gigantic conveyor bridge was beautifully lit up at night. We were given keys to walk under the bridge to get to the lake. The restrooms were okay and functional, and the cafeteria served delicious bockwurst with potato salad. The people and the host there were super nice (with a personal welcome), and it’s an absolutely fascinating, exciting, and informative place!
The booking went smoothly and the confirmation arrived very quickly. We were greeted very warmly upon arrival and given a tour of the site. Since you’re “locked in” at night, you’re given a key, which is very convenient. The campsites are beautifully situated and offer a secluded spot away from visitors. We could have gotten electricity, and water is available at the restroom trailer. A gray water disposal system is apparently in the works. You can access the campsites via the meadow or along the access road. If your RV has a long rear overhang, you should take the meadow route. Despite having additional air suspension, we were slightly raised off the ground. The F60 tour—and especially the late tour (9:00 p.m.)—is very informative, spectacular, and highly recommended. What you should know: Concerts are held on the grounds from time to time, which—as was the case for us—can go until 2:00 a.m., and the L60 runs directly behind the campsites, which already has heavy traffic in the morning.
