Blücher Mine

Highlight • Historical Site

Former mine site, 1847-1893, mining of lead-zinc-ore. Small waters carry iron oxide and thus look red.

Lots of narrow, winding footpaths where no car has ever driven. This is the kind of thing I go to *nature* for. Hurry, the nature conservation authorities haven't closed them yet.

I LOVE wide views. This view over the Cologne Bay is worthwhile. There are nicer ones, but I haven't found the right spots yet.
