    Tips

    February 20, 2025

    Lake Zülpicher See is a residual open-cast mining lake. It was created by open-cast lignite mining and the subsequent recultivation measures in the 1970s. Its surface area is approximately 85 hectares. An urban legend surrounds the flooding of the remaining pit in 1969: eyewitnesses claim to have seen a bucket-wheel excavator still standing in the pit. However, other eyewitnesses vehemently deny this. Perhaps we will get to the bottom of this mystery, as dry summers cause the water level of the lake, which can reach up to 38 meters, to steadily drop.
