Baerler Busch Forest Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

There are several paths along the water. The first on the shore you could even get wet feet. The next one is a bit higher in the dense forest.

Beach Cove at Waldsee Moers

Highlight • Beach

In the south of the Baerler Busch, the Waldsee lies in the Moers urban area. The forest lake (a renatured gravel pit) is surrounded by forest all around. Immediately next to the Waldsee the Rheinpreussen dump towers up.

Before you go, take a look at the sky: clouds? Then this is the right moment to take photos!

Sandy beach by the forest lake

Highlight • Beach

I wouldn't have thought such areas existed here! Of course, they're only beautiful for cycling from a distance.

View of Halde Rheinpreußen

Highlight • Viewpoint

In addition to the Rheinpreußen heap, there is also a small mining heap that has already been started, which is already a certain height and which is actually not accessible. They are also called Halde Lohmannsheide. I do not know whether this overburden also came from the Rheinpreussen colliery. Here you can often see riders and people with dogs.

Waldsee Baerl

Highlight • Lake

The forest lake was created after the pit was flooded for the extraction of sand and gravel. The renaturation of the lake showed success. A local recreation area was created with a sandy beach and a dock for boats.
A beautiful transformation that has wonderful impressions of nature on offer for many excursionists. Not only a natural paradise for anglers, but also for outdoor enthusiasts who want to experience a short hike in nature.
A great idyll has been created in Moers, which allows visitors to walk around the lake completely, switch off from everyday life and enjoy the beautiful landscape. Which can be wonderfully combined with the ascent to the top of the heap of the Rheinpreußen heap. Of course, we also hiked along the paths near the bank and always had the Rhine Prussia dump in our sights.
