Rank : 8.0 (average on 1 votes)

Coordinates : 51.092977, 6.447539 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Garzweiler is an enormous open-air coal mine, with an area of 48 square kilometers; It takes its name from the village that once stood there. The Ground takes an infinity of color sfumaure because of the various materials present in the different layers; Huge mining machinery is a quaint and unusual subject.

Recommended equipment : Mainly Telephoto and Supertele zooms; A standard zoom can be useful for overall visions, but most of the subjects are distant. I shoot with a focal equivalent to about 300mm, but I think the ideal would be a 100-400, 150-600 or other such lens.

Best months : All year long, hoping not to find haze, since the subjects are far away.

How to get there : The best point of Resumption is Aussichtspunkt Tagebau Garzweiler North (51.092977, 6.447539). To reach it, you arrive at the village of Hochneukirch, then continue to Holzer Street (not the nearest Talanstrasse, which is closed to traffic). At the end of Holzer St., turn right and continue for a couple of km until you reach the lookout point.

Visits : You can't get into the mine, but access to the vantage point is free and free.
