The Boisdorfer See is a residual open pit lake that was created in a hollow during the recultivation of the former Frechen opencast mine . The lake is named after the former Kerpen district of Boisdorf , which was excavated when the open-cast mine was burned out in 1975 and was roughly at the site of today's lake.
The lake is around 24 m deep, 17 hectares in size and has a volume of around 1.5 million m³. The artificial lake is fed by the Kleine Erft ; the area around the lake also serves the Erftverband as a flood retention basin for the river. The lake and its surroundings are used for local recreation . He stands in the ecological network with the Kerpener fracture and subsequent Marienfeld and is part of the framework of the Regionale 2010 designed Regio Green in the Rhineland Nature Park . A circular path around the lake and a wider church path , which connects the former town centers of the excavated and relocated districts, and the Quirinus hiking path through Marienfeld are connected to long-distance hiking trails, such as the Erft cycle path or the Jacobsweg via Cologne and Aachen .
