The Bensberger See is popularly known as the Saaler Mühlenteich. The lake is a former lignite opencast mine. A dam was built at the outflow and the lake was dammed up as a rainwater retention basin.

Hiking

Nice circular route, but it is also very crowded there at the weekend.

Hiking

Beautiful loop around the lake ... before or after a visit to the spa "Mediterana" at the lake is worthwhile
