Blausteinsee, Artificial lake and recreation area in Eschweiler, Germany

The Blausteinsee extends over 101 hectares with a depth of 43.5 meters, containing 23.5 million cubic meters of water in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The lake emerged from the transformation of the former Zukunft coal mine, which ceased operations in 1987 and began filling with water in 1994.

The Blausteinsee Leisure Centre, established by five municipalities in 1982, transformed an industrial site into a public recreational destination.

Visitors can engage in swimming, sailing, diving, cycling, and walking activities around the lake, with designated areas for each sport.

The western shore features specific zones for underwater exploration, while other sections remain as protected natural reserves for local wildlife.
