The hike leads through the "Neue Landschaft Ronneburg", which is a landscape park in eastern Thuringian Ronneburg, developed in a former uranium mining area of SDAG Wismut.

A central feature is the 20 m high Discovery Tower (Wendrich architecture office, Gera), which resembles a mining tower and is multifunctional as an observation tower and a climbing wall.
