Berggeistweiher, Protected area in Brühl, Germany
The Berggeistweiher lake spans 14 hectares within dense forests at the southern edge of Brühl, bordering the village of Walberberg in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The lake formed in the mid-1930s during lignite mining operations and received nature reserve status in 1990 to preserve its ecological character.
The walking paths surrounding Berggeistweiher connect to the nearby Phantasialand amusement park, making it a recreation destination for both nature and entertainment seekers.
The southern shore path underwent closure and removal in August 2023 to maintain the natural environment and prevent unauthorized activities within the protected zone.
The lake bottom contains remnants from World War II, leading to a temporary complete closure 20 years ago until safety investigations confirmed no remaining risks.
