Bergsee

The Bergsee lake spans 2 hectares with a length of 200 meters, width of 100 meters, and reaches a depth of 15 meters.

From 1888 until 1911, and briefly after World War II until 1948, the site operated as a mining area for lignite and quartz sand extraction.

The lake and its 800-meter circular path provide a central gathering location for local community events and outdoor activities throughout the year.

A private camping facility operates on the eastern shore of the lake, while the northwestern area features an artificial beach section.

The water body formed naturally after the mining operations ceased, transforming a former industrial site into a protected natural monument since 1985.
