ベートブルクの湖・トップ20

The local recreation area “Peringsmaar” lies between Bedburg and Glesch. The artificially created landscape lake with bioponds in front of it in the former opencast mining area has a diameter of approx. 500 m and a depth of approx. 25 m. The lake is currently fed from swamp water, but will soon be fed from the Erft, which has more water again. The lake is a eutrophic body of water with a phosphorus content of 100 to 320 milligrams per liter of water. Therefore it is not suitable as bathing water. Unlike agricultural recultivation areas, the area is left to its own devices. The circular hiking trails are designed in such a way that the visitor is guided to characteristic biotope types, such as still waters, reedbeds, forests, forest edges and grassland. There are numerous hiking parking spaces available near Bedburg and Glesch.

A view of the Kasterer See is worthwhile at any time of the year. Especially in autumn, when the colors of the leaves start to play

Great outdoor dining. Gyros are super tasty.

The lap along the lake is quite calm. The paths are almost too well developed, but they are also accessible to everyone who is a little less safe on foot.

All boards are very interesting and tell the whole story of the Bedburg werewolf.

Beautiful renatured park in Terra Nova style.

Unfortunately closed. But from the outside it looks like you will have to go there again soon. Very appealing everything.

The Peringsmaar is an artificial lake in an opencast mine on the recultivation area of the Fortuna-Garsdorf opencast mine. The lake is also known colloquially as "Peringssee". The lake is named after a former wetland and the Peringshof near the Erft, which belonged to Glesch and was excavated in 1963 and which fell victim to lignite mining. Now the wetland is a lake.
