The Blaustein Lake can be reached via the A 4 Eschweiler - East or Eschweiler - West exit or via the A 44 Alsdorf exit.
From the L 238 (Eschweiler-Dürwiß), turn off at the roundabout with the three large mosaic-covered "lake peaks" towards the recreation area. 50 m further on, continue straight on the turning priority road. The lake is now on the right-hand side.
At the next prominent "fish roundabout", take the first exit. Destination reached.

Blausteinsee

The Blausteinsee is located north of Eschweiler in the Aachen urban region. The leisure center at the Blausteinsee is located at Johannes-Rau-Platz 1, 52249 Eschweiler. The Blausteinsee can be reached by car via the A4 exits Eschweiler-Ost and Eschweiler-West or via the A44 exit Alsdorf. The lake is a magnet for many recreational athletes and can be used for diving, swimming and fishing. The area is also suitable for hiking thanks to the wide green belt. There are also separate bridle paths and a skating track for skating.

The Blausteinsee was created as part of the recultivation of the Zukunft lignite open-cast mine in the Rhenish mining area. For this purpose, the open-cast mine pit has been filled with around 25 million cubic meters of water since 1994. The current lake is up to 46 meters deep and is around 100 hectares in size.

Here you can find the latest news, information and pictures about the Blausteinsee.

The Blausteinsee is an artificial body of water with a depth of just over 40m - north of Eschweiler in North Rhine-Westphalia. The interesting diving spots are in the western part of the lake, including some small wrecks and artificially created diving attractions. The visibility in the lake varies greatly - everything from 1m to 10m is possible. Visibility is much better at greater depths. What you can always find here are numerous crabs. Diving base with filling facilities and diving permits issued on site.
