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.

Hello, we stayed for three nights on the grounds of the F 60—it’s simply breathtaking! We were greeted warmly and shown around. The evening atmosphere is truly special, with the steel colossus in the background and the birds singing. Thank you very much, André
We had a quiet night here and had the grounds all to ourselves. The staff were very helpful and even arranged for a power adapter for our camper. In the evening, we were able to build a campfire in the excavator bucket. The tour up the F60 to a dizzying height of 74 meters was fantastic.
We had a wonderful time at the site and were welcomed very warmly by everyone. There’s a beautiful view of the F60, you can take a relaxing walk to the nearby lake and enjoy the lovely surroundings, and even after the visitor mine closes, you can use the key to get back onto the grounds. Thank you so much—we’d love to come back! 😊
Against the massive backdrop of the F60, we had a unique experience during the Easter break, despite the cold nights. Marcus and his team took great care of us—we had everything we needed. Electricity, water, restrooms, and a really cool fire pit with wood—it’s all there. If you want to combine nature with culture and tradition, this is the perfect place for you. Lake Bergheider, the surrounding forests, and the lakes of the Lusatian Lake District invite you to explore on various excursions. Mining brings people together—whether above or below ground. GOOD LUCK ⚒️ We’d love to come back.
