Links hinter den Bäumen befindet sich ein ausgedehntes Haldengelände, welches leider nicht betreten werden konnte. Das gesamte Areal ist umzäunt und bewacht. Bei dem Besuch 1998, wo das Bild entstand, konnte jedoch gegen Zigaretten eine haselnußgroße Malachitgarbe mit den Wächtern getauscht werden.
