After the basalt mining ended in 1982, the quarries were transformed into a lake landscape with a total area of more than 61 hectares, of which around 22.5 hectares are deep. Many hikers, walkers, riders and strollers are drawn to this local recreation area.

The Dietesheim Quarries recreation area near Mühlheim am Main includes several impressive lakes formed from former basalt quarries. The most famous include:

Vogelsberg Lake – One of the largest and most famous lakes in the region.

Oberwaldsee (Green Lake) – Particularly idyllic and surrounded by lush nature.

Hansteinweiher – A smaller but charming lake in the area.

Frankfurter See – Another body of water that is part of the lake district.

Röstersee – A hidden gem in the region.

Bellerbornsee – Part of the diverse water landscape.

Schüsselersee – A lesser-known but beautiful lake.

Betzensee – Complements the impressive lake landscape.

Green Lake – Often used as a synonym for Oberwaldsee.

These lakes are connected by hiking trails and offer spectacular views of the steep cliffs and the renaturalized landscape. The Canyon Bridge, which connects Lake Vogelsberg with Lake Oberwald, is a particular highlight for visitors.
