The mighty brick massif, built in 1923 “for eternity,” is today the most important industrial monument in the North Hessian region.

Idyllically situated on the Schwalm, between the recreational areas of Stockelache bathing lake, Gombether See and Singliser See.

Within sight of the Borken Mining Museum with its huge bucket wheel excavators, which are an impressive reminder of open-cast lignite mining.

The Borken Tourist Park is a good location for the first German leisure park for seniors.
