The Friedrich Mine Washing Tip in Tarnowskie Góry, Mining heritage site in Tarnowskie Góry, Poland.
The Friedrich Mine Washing Tip forms an L-shaped plateau with steep slopes, rising 17 meters above ground and containing 26.5 million cubic meters of material.
The site emerged in the 1830s when the Friedrich Royal Mine established a modern processing plant between the Sophia and Frieden shafts for lead and zinc ore.
The washing tip represents industrial innovation as it housed one of continental Europe's first steam-powered drainage systems for underground mining operations.
The flat summit of the artificial mountain provides access to panoramic views of Tarnowskie Góry, including the historic mine tower and town hall.
The dolomite rocks mixed with iron ore fragments give the mound its characteristic orange and red coloring, supporting rare metalophyte plant communities.
