Das Museum verfügt über ein Anschauungsbergwerk mit Seilfahrtsimulator. Das weithin sichtbare Symbol des Museums, der 71 m hohe Förderturm kann bestiegen werden.
The German Mining Museum, founded in Bochum in 1930, is the largest mining museum in the world and, on the other hand, is a research institute for georesources and mining and mining archives. The museum has a demonstration mine with a rope simulator. The symbol of the museum, which can be seen from afar, the 71 m high winding tower can be climbed.
Halde Nordeutschland
Die Halde Nordeutschland ist durch den Aushub der dortigen Zechen bei Kamp-Lintfort und Neukirchen-Vluyn entstanden. Auf 102 m Höhe ist das sogenannte Hallenhaus errichtet worden. Hier oben bietet sich Richtung Osten eine reiche Aussicht auf den Niederrhein und das Ruhrgebiet. Zudem gibt es hier oben genug Platz für diverse Events.
The scree "Norddeutschland" (mining dump) based on the excavation material from the coal mines of Kamp-Lintfort and Neukirchen-Vluyn left side of the river Rhine. At the top of 102m (300 feet) by the so called hall house you have an amazing view eastwards to the lower Rhine region and the "Ruhrgebiet". There are also facilities for all kind of events.

Last week Zach and I discovered that we each had a couple PTO days to burn. I took the same days that he did just because there wasn't much else free. My intention was to get things done at home, do some car shopping, and maybe train stuff. I didn't have a passport but I decided to work on that this week for the sake of having that done for future endeavors, and maybe I'd have more options open up for the long weekend if things went quickly. I had an appointment to apply for an expedited passport in Buffalo on Tuesday. The night before my appointment I discovered that the copy of my birth certificate that I had was not a certified copy as is required. I was pretty much screwed but I wasn't going to throw that appointment away because they are difficult to come by. Between working the WAJO on Monday and Tuesday nights somehow I managed to get the certified certificate that I needed from the records office at my birthplace and get my passport application submitted in Buffalo. On Wednesday, late in the afternoon, I called Zach and told him the news. By nothing short of a godsent miracle, I was walking out of the passport agency in Buffalo with a passport in hand. With a good forecast ahead we made the decision to head for the ONR, and less than a couple hours later we crossed the border. The end result was two great days and one that wasn't so great, plus a driving day, but this was one of those shots that made the last minute scramble worth it regardless of what followed. Kudos to Zach for the driving and doing the legwork on getting some pregame info despite not having a ton of time to do so. ONR twenty one naught one southbound out of Englehart for North Bay, in the no man's land south of Temagami.

Der Thüringische Schieferpark Lehesten ist als historischer Schiefertagebau mit all seinen einmaligen Funktionsgebäuden heute ein technisches Denkmal in der Berg- und Schieferstadt Lehesten im thüringischen Landkreis Saalfeld-Rudolstadt. Das etwa 105 ha große Areal liegt an der Thüringisch-Fränkischen Schieferstraße südlich von Lehesten unweit der Grenze zu Bayern im Naturpark Thüringer Schiefergebirge/Obere Saale. Der Schiefer wurde bereits im 13. Jahrhundert abgebaut, später in kleinen Brüchen gewonnen und mündete im Laufe der Zeit zu einem der ehemals größten Schiefertagebaue des europäischen Festlandes.
The Thuringian Slate Park Lehesten is a historic open-cast slate mine with all its unique functional buildings and is now a technical monument in the mining and slate town of Lehesten in the Saalfeld-Rudolstadt district of Thuringia. The approximately 105 hectare area is located on the Thuringian-Franconian Slate Road south of Lehesten not far from the border with Bavaria in the Thuringian Slate Mountains/Upper Saale Nature Park. The slate was mined as early as the 13th century, later extracted in small quarries and over time it became one of the largest slate mines on the European mainland.
Clipstone Colliery was a coal mine situated near the village of the same name on the edge of an area of Nottinghamshire known as “The Dukeries” because of the number of stately homes in the area. The colliery was owned by the Bolsover Colliery Company and passed to the National Coal Board in 1947. The headstocks and powerhouse are grade II listed buildings.
The Hearst Memorial Mining Building at the University of California, Berkeley, is home to the university's Materials Science and Engineering Department. The Beaux-Arts-style Classical Revival building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as part of California Historical Landmark #946. It was designed by John Galen Howard, with the assistance of the UC Berkeley-educated architect Julia Morgan and the Dean of the College of Mines at that time, Samuel B. Christy. It was the first building on that campus designed by Howard. Construction began in 1902 as part of the Phoebe Hearst campus development plan. The building was dedicated to the memory of her husband George Hearst, who had been a successful miner.
