Caution! Swimming is not allowed in the large lake, the currents and the depth (up to 20 meters according to Wikipedia) are easily underestimated. Even in the bathing area of the small lake, where bathing is allowed, children should not be unsupervised. In July 2018, two fatal swimming accidents occurred in quick succession.

Idyllic peace on the Kaarst lake - but only here in the western part, away from the main road, highway and beaches ...

Nordkanal

Highlight • River

You can ride a bike along the north canal (cycle path north of the canal) or go hiking or walking in the neighboring Vorster forest (south of the canal). The marked point with the bridge over the North Canal is a good connection between Kaarster See and Vorster Wald for a hike that includes both areas.

The North Canal (French "Grand Canal du Nord") is a project initiated by Napoléon in 1806 to build a waterway between the seaport of Antwerp, the Maas and the Rhine. Only sections of the canal from Neuss to Neersen (in North Rhine-Westphalia) and from Nederweert to Beringe / Helden (in the Netherlands, called Noordervaart there) were built.
