Bergwerksee, Artificial lake in Reichelsheim, Germany
The Bergwerksee covers 68 hectares, including 26 hectares of water surface and 35 hectares of meadows, farmland, and traditional orchards.
The lake formed in the void of former brown coal mining operations that operated in the Wetterau region until 1991.
The transformation from mining site to natural area represents the industrial heritage and environmental restoration efforts of the Hesse region.
The lake reaches depths of 34 meters and maintains specific regulations that permit fishing clubs and nature conservation diving activities.
The water level of this former mining pit continues to rise gradually, as the lake has not yet reached its final equilibrium state.
