Stock Photo - 04 June 2020, Brandenburg, Welzow: The Geisendorf estate is situated on the edge of the Welzow-Süd opencast lignite mine owned by LEAG (Lausitz Energie Bergbau AG). The Geisendorf mountain, part of the restored foothills of the terminal moraine area of the Steinitz Alps in the recultivation of the Welzow-Süd open-cast mine, has been officially open to visitors since the beginning of June 2020. From the vantage point on the top of the 150-metre-high mountain a wide view opens up over the recultivated area of the open-cast mine with the Wolkenberg and the Steinitzer Berg as well as to the active mining recultivation. It uses spreaders, excavators and bulldozers to create the terrain profile for the landscape to be planted later. For this purpose, it uses the upper soil layer extracted in the open-cast mining area and selected for the respective later use. Photo: Patrick Pleul/dpa-Zentralbild/ZB. - Welzow/Brandenburg/Germany
