View of Lohheidesee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice lake in an extensive recreational area with the beautiful Baerler Busch. There are a few benches by the lake to rest. The lake can be circumnavigated. In addition, tours of different lengths can be easily combined with this highlight.

Baerler Busch

Highlight • Forest

The Baerler bush is a heath forest. Typical of the sandy soil are oaks, vinegar trees and rubies. In addition to the forest, Lohheider Lake in the north and Waldsee in the south are also part of the Baerler Busch. Several cycling and hiking trails run through the area.

View of the Lower Rhine and the Ruhr region from Das Geleucht

Highlight • Viewpoint

From up here, you have a beautiful view.
The climb is very moderate and doable for everyone.
I highly recommend it.

Waldsee Baerl

Highlight • Lake

The forest lake was created after the pit was flooded for the extraction of sand and gravel. The renaturation of the lake showed success. A local recreation area was created with a sandy beach and a dock for boats.
A beautiful transformation that has wonderful impressions of nature on offer for many excursionists. Not only a natural paradise for anglers, but also for outdoor enthusiasts who want to experience a short hike in nature.
A great idyll has been created in Moers, which allows visitors to walk around the lake completely, switch off from everyday life and enjoy the beautiful landscape. Which can be wonderfully combined with the ascent to the top of the heap of the Rheinpreußen heap. Of course, we also hiked along the paths near the bank and always had the Rhine Prussia dump in our sights.

Towpath on the Rhine riverbank

Highlight • Trail

From the promenade you actually have a "beautiful view" of the Rhine. However, the shore path is also very popular with pedestrians and cyclists

Unfortunately, due to flooding on the Rhine, we couldn't walk the whole way along the Rhine.

In order to diligently collect kilometers for #movementhelps, I went on a very water-heavy tour to Duisburg and Marl today. First we went up to the Rheinpreussen heap with its lights. When I got back down, the beautiful forest lake was waiting for me with its great paths. (It would be even nicer if you didn't hear the A42)🤷.

Start & finish: Rheindamm Orsoy car park

Rhine, forest & slag heap
This tour took us through wild, romantic riverside landscapes, past fallen trees and up to the impressive Rheinpreußen slag heap.

Enjoy the contrast between wild, romantic nature and industrial past.

January 22, 2022,Duisburg-Baerl: Rhein - Orsoy - Lohheidesee - Halde Rheinpreußen

Today I was with a nice group in Duisburg. We started in Duisburg-Baerl and walked along the Rhine to Orsoy. The path is sometimes a bit adventurous and you have to look for it. After we had circumnavigated Orsoy on the fortress wall, we made our way to Lohheidesee. Through the forest we went past the Waldsee to the Halde …
