Nieheimer Tongruben are colorful clay-mining ponds and terraced pit landscapes on the edge of Nieheim. The unusual earth tones, exposed cuts, and reflective water surfaces work well for moody landscape and abstract compositions. Best light is sunrise–morning (softer color) and late afternoon; weekdays avoid local activity.
