The Peringsmaar, located between Glesch and Blerichen, is an artificial lake situated on the reclaimed land of the former Fortuna-Garsdorf open-cast mine. The lake covers approximately 20 hectares and reaches depths of up to 25 meters. Surrounded by floodplains and meadows, the Peringsmaar is the perfect destination for anyone looking to escape the grayness of the landscape and embrace greenery.

After the coaling was completed in 1993, the opencast mine was filled with overburden from other opencast mines in the region, in particular the Hambach opencast mine. The recultivation has been largely completed since 2004.
The areas in the south with the Wiedenfelder Höhe dump were restored for agricultural use. In the northwest, an extensive 120 hectare recreational area with the Peringssee was created near Bedburg.
