On the south bank of the lake was the Nachterstedt lookout point, where a 75-tonne electric locomotive and a 25-m³ waste wagon from the former mine railway could be viewed on a 30-meter-long track system. They were torn into Lake Concordia when a 350 by 150 meter wide strip of land slid down on July 18, 2009, as were two residential buildings. Three people were killed in the process.
