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.

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.

Benches With a View of Lohheidesee

Almost every 500m there are small cozy places with 1-2 benches around the lake, where you have a beautiful view of the Lohheidesee and you can enjoy nature.

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.

July 17, 2025,Waldsee – Das Geleucht Runde von Meerbeck

You don't have to drive all the way to Ineos Solvents (visitor car park) to start the tour. Drive directly from the roundabout to the Hald; there's a signpost. This way you don't have to walk along the road for about 1 km and then back up the path. The path by the Waldsee runs right along the water, but …

January 4, 2024,15-Das Geleucht – Halde Rheinpreußen Runde von Meerbeck

I wish all hikers a Happy New Year.

The start couldn't have been better, dry weather and still a lot of wet.

It should only go past 2 lakes, Waldsee and Lohheider See. But we had some lakes 😉 to wade through and walk past. But everything is fine. No black holes this time.

October 7, 2023,Das Geleucht – Halde Rheinpreußen Runde von Meerbeck

Be careful, this tour has its pitfalls, especially in the last quarter the hike is extremely steep over a very narrow route for mountain bikes, very dangerous, you can't get out of the way quickly enough if a bike is coming.

February 12, 2022,Rund um die Halde Rheinpreußen in Moers 1.0 - Niederrhein

Finally he was there; the long-awaited sunny day to fill up on vitamin D! We used it at the Lohheidesee, in the Baerler Busch and to top it all off on the Rheinpreussen heap with views from the "Geglüh". A glorious day!

May 13, 2023,Wanderung Waldsee

Unfortunately, there was a stretch (according to Komoot) at the horse stud that we were not allowed to pass because it was a private road. A rider made that clear to us.

December 18, 2021,Wanderung Waldsee rotes Geleucht

Probably the last major hike before Christmas! Together with Nicole Rosenblender and later Maria Miklyaeva joined them !!
It was about the Waldsee, then to the Lohheider See and then up the dump Rheinpreussen to the "Roten Geluchte"
A nice tour that you shouldn't do when the weather is nice.

March 6, 2022,Glück auf - Das Geleucht auf der Halde Rheinpreußen und mehr

The lamp stands on the Rheinpreußen heap - just behind Duisburg, starting from the town of Baerl. The miners took this pit light with them to “Untertage” on the “Pütt” in order to illuminate the path and the place of work. More pot is hardly possible. But before we climb the heap, we go from our parking lot on Buchenallee …

February 26, 2022,Lohheidesee, Waldsee und Das Geleucht 🦆🌫☀️

Hopefully my winter break is now over with this hike. After some renovation work and due to the lack of nice weather, the break was a little longer.
To get in the mood, I walked from the Lohheidesee through the cloud forest to the Waldsee today.
At the forest lake, I was able to observe a great crested grebe diving …
