Baerler Busch, Forest and recreation area between Duisburg and Moers, Germany
The area encompasses 3.2 square kilometers of heath forest on inland dunes, intersected by the A42 motorway and featuring two lakes: Loheider See and Waldsee.
In 1911, the mining company Rheinpreussen acquired the forest for coal mining expansion, though no additional mine shafts were established within the boundaries.
The forest contains memorial sites including 141 graves of forced laborers from World War II at the Lohmannsheide Forest Cemetery.
Multiple hiking and mountain biking trails wind through the varied terrain of dunes and forest areas, with designated parking spaces at various entry points.
A protected beech tree along Buchenallee, dating from around 1700, stands with an impressive trunk diameter of 5.4 meters.
