I wonder how the photo above of this highlight was taken when the dump has not yet been released by the RAG 🚫 😳 Komoot has also blocked the paths here. The dump was partly planted and now needs 1-3 years until nature 🌳 has secured everything and was able to spread further. You can still go up there early enough.
