    Hiking

    Lake Franziskus is one of more than two dozen bodies of water in the "Ville" region between Brühl and Liblar, offering hikers wonderful variety during walks in the woods. Historically, this area, now a protected landscape within the Rhineland Nature Park, was formerly a mining area. Brown coal was mined here in open-cast mines long ago.
