Swimming, barbecuing, boating or even camping is forbidden there. It is an FFH area (protected) and a former opencast mine (no entry for security reasons). There is also a fine notice for those who drive up to the lake (transit ban). As seductive as it is, it beckons a fine of €55.00 upwards.

The Hellkopfsee (also known as a canyon by locals) is a former opencast mining lake. Fantastically beautiful, pure nature, peace...
You can walk around it right near the shore (be careful, very slippery in wet weather).
Attention: nature reserve! Parking directly at the lake is not permitted, nor is camping, barbecuing, partying, etctranslated by•January 29, 2022
