A different adventure

Experienced guide and ‘old’ Lindener, Kenneth W. Simmons, is waiting to show you around the mining town of Linden. You would not only visit Linden’s historic symbol, the water wheel, but many other historical corners of Linden.

Take a closer look at typical miners’ houses, new housing schemes, the museum, mined-out areas with scope for re-vegetation (very interesting from an ecological point of view) such as the ‘Blue Lake’, and the Linden City Centre, just to mention a few. Simmons offers a short (2 to 3 hours) and a longer city tour (4 to 5 hours). Upon your wish, an excellent lunch of your choice can be provided.

Don’t miss seeing the bauxite mine in operation, bearing in mind that bauxite is the base for aluminium and a number of other products.

Some tours go beyond Linden and include Rockstone and Gluck Island as major eco-tourism destinations in the region. Visit lindentourism.com for more information.
