CarlAlexanderPark is a large recreation and out-of-the-way area in the German town of Baesweiler (North Rhine-Westphalia), near the border with the Netherlands. It is best known for its landscape park, which was created on the site of a former coal mine, and its Bergfoyer (Bergfoyer) as a central starting point for visitors. CarlAlexanderPark is a redeveloped former mining site (Grube Carl Alexander) that now serves as a large-scale nature walking and recreation area. The old coal deposits (heaps/halde) have been transformed into a park with hiking trails, viewpoints, and recreational facilities. The park has several paths and a steep route to an 80-meter-high mountain plateau with views over the Meuse-Rhine Euregion. The halde and surrounding areas have been restored as a nature reserve with unique flora and fauna, and information signs along the path. There are also playgrounds, open spaces, and a youth campsite in the Bergpark at the foot of the halde.

A wonderful sight, especially at the beginning of summer - children playing, adults relaxing, walkers, cyclists, etc. - what harmony

Because it is beautiful here and there are many things to discover, especially for children!

The site of today's Carl-Alexander Park in Baesweiler was part of the Carl-Alexander pit, a hard coal mine in Baesweiler and belonged to the Aachen hard coal district. Coal mining stopped in 1975 and the Carl Alexander Park was created here as part of the EuRegionale 2008. The most important design elements of the park are: a landscape artery connecting the park with Beeckfliess and Wurmtal, a mountain foyer with restaurants, the ascent to the heap with a suspension footbridge and suspension bridge, the mountain plateau with a viewing platform and a mountain park at the foot of the heap. The CAP also includes a technology and commercial area and a youth camp with play and sports facilities.

You can't miss the bright red mountain foyer. It is the information center for the CarlAlexanderPark and also offers a restaurant. You can find more information at https://www.baesweiler.de/carlalexanderpark.html.

The park at the Carl-Alexander-Halde is equipped with lots of play equipment and seating. With its clearings, groves, vantage points and rest areas, the park invites you to linger, walk, cycle and discover. From the red mountain foyer you can hike over a 25-meter-long suspension bridge, the Schwebesteg and the Himmelsstiege to the Halde or you can take the gravel path to the summit. The view from the top is magnificent!

I especially liked the giant swings.

Fantastically beautiful sight, a paradise for insects and birds
