Blick über Kasterer See

At this point you have a beautiful view over the Kasterer lake. A visit is worthwhile in every season.

A nice little lake. A walk is always worthwhile. Then another lap through Altkaster.

A walk around the lake and the visit of Altkaster is always worthwhile!

The lake is very idyllic.

The Mühlenerft feeds and laps the Kasterer See, which was built in the area of the former Frimmersdorf opencast mine and completed in 1984. The lake is located on a forest island in which the endangered elm has been replanted in large numbers, a particularly typical type of hardwood floodplain forests.
The Kasterer See is designed in such a way that it allows various uses. While the southwest bank is used for local recreation, the east bank is largely inaccessible and reserved for nature. There are numerous wetlands and nesting sites for water birds. The lake with a max. Length of 1000 m and a width of 125 m offers ideal conditions for observation walks.bedburg.de/Seiten/Kasterer-See-Naherammlung-vor-der-Haustuer.html?

The title “Schleuse” seems a bit exaggerated, it is more of a weir with a bridge over it. But from this hurry a nice view over the lake.

A nice smaller lake with good walking paths.

The local recreation area, which is directly adjacent to the historic town center of Alt-Kaster, was created by extensive recultivation measures in the course of lignite mining in this region.
Through the creation of an approximately 8 ha forest area, the Kasterer Höhe, and an embedded lake, the Kasterer See, an important local recreation area has been created here, which contributes to Bedburg remaining a city in the countryside.
The Mühlenerft feeds and flushes around the Kasterer See, which was created in the area of the former Frimmersdorf opencast mine and was completed in 1984. The lake is located in a forest island, in which the endangered elm was planted in large numbers as a particularly typical type of hardwood floodplain forest.
Lake Kaster is designed in such a way that it can be used for different purposes. While the south-west bank serves local recreation, the east bank is largely inaccessible and reserved for nature. There are numerous wetlands and nesting sites for water birds. The lake with a max. Length of 1000 m and width of 125 m offers ideal conditions for observation walks.

Nice view; Rest point with benches by the water

"... Finally we reach the forest again and soon we see the Kasterer See. This idyllic local recreation area is a positive effect from the recultivation measures of the opencast mine ...."

Wonderful place to take a break at the outflow of the Kasterer See.

Nice little lake. Only a few more benches could be placed.

Especially during the week when it is less busy, it is very relaxing

At this point you can take a short break, the water ripples in the background, nice

Beautiful viewpoint near Alt-Kaster

Beautiful place. Thanks for the great hint.

The place invites you to linger. A short break by the water is always relaxing, especially on warm days (if mosquitoes don't bother you)
