View of the Blausteinsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Created by the replenishment of an open pit residual hole of the former lignite mine "Zukunft", the approximately 100 hectare Blausteinsee is today the center of a leisure and recreation area. Around the lake there is a green belt about 100 meters wide. Swimming, diving and many other types of water sports are possible in Blausteinsee. Around the lake memorial stones and crossroads remind communities and villages that had to give way to lignite mining.

Würselen–Aachen Cycle Expressway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Well laid out cycle expressway which can now be used as far as Aachen on the Green Way. It partly runs on an old railway line. It is very nice to drive in the Würselener Stadtgarten. It is the former railway line from Jülich to Aachen.

Aachener Industriebahn Rail Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

The route of the Aachen industrial railway leads into the area surrounding the fortified city of Jülich, which is characterized by opencast lignite mining. Since October 2019, the entire route of the railway line, which was originally built in the 1980s, has been asphalted.

Aachen–Jülich Rail Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Where once trains fully loaded with coal from the former mining sites of the Aachen region traveled, cyclists can now comfortably and without inclines cycle from the imperial city of Aachen to Jülich on the 32-kilometer-long railway cycle path.
