Recreational lake, nascent; Flooded residual hole of a former open-cast lignite mine |
The Lappwaldsee (former project name Helmstedt-Harbke-See , sometimes also referred to as Helmstedt-See ) is the name of an emerging recreational lake south of the city of Helmstedt ( Lower Saxony ) and west of the municipality of Harbke ( Saxony-Anhalt ).
description
Where until 2002 the lignite - opencast mines Helmstedt and Wulfersdorf were, is currently being built in the region, a transnational bathing and recreational waters. After the area has been completely charred, the remaining hole will gradually fill up with water. Since there is hardly any surface water available due to the relatively high terrain of this area , the filling with groundwater will take many more decades (first estimate by 2080, more recent forecast including external flooding by 2030).
On September 29, 2011, the council of the city of Helmstedt, in coordination with the municipality of Harbke, decided on the name Lappwaldsee, although the mine area is around five kilometers southwest of the Lappwald . The preliminary usage concept provides for four areas to be combined in a compatible way: swimming, water sports and trend sports, fishing and nature conservation; to this end, each use will have its own spatial allocation. The aim is a gradual interim use, the first step will be the construction of a 16-kilometer hiking and cycling network with viewpoints around the slowly growing lake.
A transnational state horticultural show in the area of the lake was in preliminary planning for 2014 . However, the plans came to nothing.
In the area of the former opencast mine was the village of Wulfersdorf , which, like other places in the Helmstedter Revier, was demolished for opencast mining.
