The Peringsmaar is an artificial lake in an opencast mine on the reclamation area of the open pit Fortuna Garsdorf . The lake is colloquially also called "Peringssee".
location
The lake is located between the towns of Bergheim ( Glesch district ) and Bedburg ( Blerichen district ), west of the Wiedenfelder Höhe , in the Rhein-Erft district .
Naming
The lake is named after a former wetland (in the Rhenish Maar - not to be confused with the Maar crater lake ) and the Peringshof near the Erft, which belonged to Glesch and was excavated in 1963 and fell victim to lignite mining. Now the wetland is a lake. A similar residual lake is the Zieselsmaar near Köttingen .
Water management
The water is filled with pumped-out groundwater by RWE Power , a connection to the Erft is under construction.
Flora and fauna

In contrast to agricultural recultivation areas, the area is left to its own devices. It is included in the road of energy . Numerous cycling and hiking trails lead through the area. Parking spaces for hikers are available near Bedburg and Glesch. The alders planted in the wetland have been attacked by the pest Phytophthora alni since the mid-1990s , which destroys the alder roots so that the trees dry up in the water. Over time, the alders are replaced by other bushes and trees that will settle on their own.
