ペリングスマアー周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ4

Great nature reserve with very beautiful hiking trails 👍

Peace and quiet on the lovely little lake. With its high phosphor level it's not made for swimming (forbidden anyway as it's a nature reserve) and I wouldn't let the dog in either. The name "Maar" (volcanic lake) is misleading as it's been filled in in the course of renaturation of the open-cast lignite mine "Futura". The track around the lake is not made for the casual biker, for me it's more mountain bike single trails. But the cosy sandy beaches are ideal for picnics and accessible by bike. Enjoy.

During the mining phase, Fortuna-Garsdorf was for a long time the largest and deepest brown coal open-cast mine in the world. The greatest depth was 360 m below ground, the total area was around 2,200 ha (22 km²). The recoverable reserves of just over a billion tons of coal were almost completely depleted in the approximately 38-year operating period up to May 1993. Around twice the amount of overburden had to be removed (a very favorable ratio; open-cast mines in operation in Germany today are in much less favorable locations). To maintain drainage, around 16 million m³ of groundwater had to be pumped out and the Erft had to be diverted.

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.

The Peringsmaar is an artificial lake in an opencast mining hole on the recultivation area of the Fortuna-Garsdorf opencast mine. The lake is also colloquially called “Peringssee”.

Yes, a very relaxed route.

Beautiful renatured park in Terra Nova style.

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.
