Great terrace with a platform, right on the Blausteinsee. There is a small playground for the children.

The Blausteinsee - officially the leisure and recreation focus Blausteinsee - is an artificial lake about 100 hectares in size and up to 46 meters deep north of Eschweiler in the Aachen city region in western North Rhine-Westphalia. It was created as part of the recultivation of the former lignite opencast mine Zukunft in the Rhenish lignite mining area by filling the remaining opencast mine with surface water and today serves as a local recreation area for the surrounding towns. Its water level is 129 m above sea level. NN. The total filling volume is around 25 million cubic meters. Filling started in 1994. Every year, 3.8 million m³ of water are pumped into the lake from the sump well of the Inden opencast mine so that it maintains its current level. According to the Aachen city region, this feeding with sump water will still be necessary until 2061.
