Beautiful nature reserve

The Cranenweyer is also called 'the Green Lung'. About fifty years ago a large reservoir was built to protect the area from flooding. Now it is a beautiful nature reserve where you can regularly spot cormorants.

The Diepenbenden dam is a body of still water in Aachen-Steinebrück and consists of an upper and a lower basin. The upper basin is fed by the Wurm's "Luttitz" and "Wolfschlucht" source streams, and the lower basin is fed by the main Wurm spring, which rises below the Düsbergkopf. The volume of both systems is around 91,000 m³ and the depth is 8 m.[1] In 2010, the basin was completely renovated.[2] The dam was built around 1930, at the same time as the Kupferbach reservoir. Beavers have been resident there since 2020.[3] There has been a restaurant on the northern shore of the lake since ancient times. Since the 1960s, the "Aachener Modellboot-Club 1960 e. V." a right of use for the Diepenbenden dam. Almost every Sunday, the members of the association meet and launch their model boats, although no model ships with combustion engines or racing boats are permitted.

The total filling volume is around 25 million cubic meters. Filling began in 1994. Every year, 3.8 million m³ of water is pumped into the lake from swamp wells in the Inden opencast mine so that it maintains its current level. According to the Aachen city region, this supply of swamp water will be necessary until 2061.

In the very south of the Aachen Forest, Gut Entenpfuhl offers a place to stop. The visit can be easily combined with tours to the Steineknipp, the highest elevation in the Aachen Forest. Two of the GrenzRouten hiking trails (numbers 1 and 5) also lead along here.

The café/restaurant is a tip in both winter and summer.
