Besucherbergwerk Abraumförderbrücke F60, Mining museum in Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf, Germany

The F60 conveyor bridge spans 502 meters in length and rises 80 meters high, functioning as both a technical monument and mining museum.

Between 1969 and 1972, engineers constructed the first F60 bridge, which processed 27,000 cubic kilometers of overburden until operations ceased in 1992.

The former mining facility transformed into an educational center showcases the industrial heritage of Lusatian coalfields through guided tours and exhibitions.

Visitors can access the structure daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with adult admission at 16 euros including comprehensive guided tours.

The structure earned the nickname 'lying Eiffel Tower' due to its massive dimensions, making it the largest movable technical industrial machine worldwide.
