Tips
In the hard coal town of Hückelhoven, near the Central Limburg town of Roerdalen, Großkünkel Rurkies is creating a natural lake with open, deliberately barren vegetation and swampy shore areas. The lake is located in the Doveren district on the banks of the Rur, a branch of the Meuse. On the map, the lake is designated as a Baggersee Großkünkel nature reserve.
The lake is the result of sand and gravel mining that was completed in 2020. The remaining preparation of the area will take place in 2021 and 2022.translated by
