The iron town Ferropolis is a museum and event location near Gräfenhainichen. It is part of the former open cast mining area which is now being recultivated, resulting in numerous lakes suitable for bathing in natural surroundings. Situated on a peninsula it was built using the now obsolete excavators formerly used for digging coal. These massive machines dug 70 million tons of brown coal out of the earth, until the beginning of the nineties. This ambience is perfectly made for monsters of rock! Here you can also gaze at an amphitheatre designed by John Park, which is built to hold 25,000 spectators and is used for theatre, concerts and big festivals.
