After the coaling was completed in 1993, the opencast mine was filled with overburden from other opencast mines in the region, in particular the Hambach opencast mine. The recultivation has been largely completed since 2004.
The areas in the south with the Wiedenfelder Höhe dump were restored for agricultural use. In the northwest, an extensive 120 hectare recreational area with the Peringssee was created near Bedburg.

The Peringsmaar is a beautiful lake that you can hike around and there are also benches to rest. Bathing is forbidden here.

The local recreation area “Peringsmaar” lies between Bedburg and Glesch. The artificially created landscape lake with bioponds in front of it in the former opencast mining area has a diameter of approx. 500 m and a depth of approx. 25 m. The lake is currently fed from swamp water, but will soon be fed from the Erft, which has more water again. The lake is a eutrophic body of water with a phosphorus content of 100 to 320 milligrams per liter of water. Therefore it is not suitable as bathing water. Unlike agricultural recultivation areas, the area is left to its own devices. The circular hiking trails are designed in such a way that the visitor is guided to characteristic biotope types, such as still water, reed beds, forest, forest edge and grassland. There are numerous hiking parking spaces available near Bedburg and Glesch.
