Everything is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays

The Blausteinsee is still very young. It is the pit of a former opencast mine, which was filled with water from 1994. You can still see his artificial character somehow. Nevertheless, it is a popular destination and a good example of the renaturation of the opencast mining landscape. In the next few years, even more such lakes are to be created in this area.

Great lake view with lots of water birds.

The kiosk will open at noon Thursday

A nice stopover to linger
