Gruhlsee is one of the residual lakes from lignite mining in the southern Rhenish lignite mining region in North Rhine-Westphalia, southwest of Cologne, near the town of Brühl in the Rhein-Erft district. It was created in 1973 and is part of the Rhineland Nature Park.

It is one of the smallest ponds in the Ville region and was formed from the residual pits of the former open-cast lignite mine. A path with benches leads around it. In January, with ice and snow (photos), it has an eerie and mystical feel. A small wooden bridge connects it to a steeper path.

Along the water.

This location is very easy to get into the water. It's a lovely place to linger. Sometimes you even meet some really nice people. A very nice place.

The remains of the former Burbach monastery complex.

A nice place to relax and watch the dogs bathing.

Spring at the Otto Maigler Lake In spring, the Otto Maigler Lake awakens from its winter sleep. The first rays of sun break through the morning mist and bathe the lake in a soft light. The trees show fresh, delicate green and the first flowers bloom on the banks. Birds return and the air is filled with a fine, floral scent. The lake seems like a mirror of new beginnings - calm but full of life. It is a time of renewal and growth when nature regains its colors. Summer at the Otto Maigler Lake In summer, the lake shines in all its glory. The air is warm, the water refreshing and the shore is a popular meeting place for walkers, cyclists and swimmers. The sun reflects in a thousand sparks on the surface of the water. Families enjoy the idyll, children play on the edge and boats glide across the lake. In the evening, as the sun slowly sets, the lake is bathed in golden light and a relaxed atmosphere spreads. Summer is lively and full of energy, but there are always quiet moments at the lake as dusk gently bids the day farewell. Autumn at Otto Maigler Lake Autumn brings a completely different mood. The trees turn bright reds and golds, and the lake reflects the colors of the leaves. The air becomes cooler, and the early morning mist gives the lake a mysterious aura. As the leaves fall, the lake is enveloped in a calm that reflects the transition of the season. Autumn at Otto Maigler Lake is a time of pause, of reflection. Nature prepares for winter, and the lake shows off its quiet beauty. Winter at Otto Maigler Lake In winter, Otto Maigler Lake seems frozen in time. A thin layer of ice often covers the water's surface, and the surrounding landscape is covered in snow. The silence is almost tangible, and the cold air feels clear and refreshing. The lake rests under a blanket of ice and snow, and the trees bear a burden of frost. Winter is the quietest time at the lake – a moment of contemplation in which nature appears in its simplest and purest form.

Great for watching waterfowl such as herons and egrets.
