March 4, 2023,Wilde Pfade an der Köttinger Seenplatte

Inspired by the hike "Over the Köttinger Seenplatte" by Sabinewandert (strangely enough, @sabinewandert can't create the link??), I also hiked the loop around the Köttinger Seen today. I almost exclusively hiked along the narrow paths right next to the lakes. This was sometimes very adventurous, as the ground was quite wet and muddy. At the Dinnedahlsee in particular, I was …

June 22, 2025,🇩🇪 Kierdorf - Köttingen 3 Seenrunde

A short walk near Kierdorf Köttingen. This is also the site of former small coal mines. The resulting lakes are now a very beautiful local recreation area. Unfortunately, some sections of the paths along the lakes are very overgrown. However, the natural elements are excellent. Here and there, it almost resembles a jungle. For years, I've been wandering through the …

A very beautiful hike right by the lakes.
Exciting trails, some stream crossings, and narrow paths...
Not suitable for strollers.

August 15, 2025,🇩🇪 Schattige 3 Seenrunde im Revier

The Concordia Lake, Köttinger Lake, and Dinnentahl Lake are remnants of former privately owned open-pit coal mines. Today, they are a popular local recreation area, offering many opportunities for hiking and walking. Narrow paths lead directly along the shores; those who prefer an easier route can stay on the wider trails. This forest, with its countless lakes, can be easily …

November 16, 2021,Am Concordiasee – Köttinger See Runde von Kierdorf

Today we walked in the lowlands around Kierdorf, we hiked around 3 lakes. First the Concordia lake, from there to the Köttinger lake, and finally around the Dinnendahlsee. For the most part we went the lower single trails right on the water because you could see so much more. The prerequisite is, of course, surefootedness, sturdy shoes and walking sticks, …

This morning @Rosi and I went for a morning hike in the Köttinger Lake District.

Even if these lakes offer at best minimal tourism potential, the region is of course worth a visit: there are numerous other lakes around Lake Köttinger that are characterized by a high recreational value.

November 16, 2023,2023-11-16 Rundtour in der Ville ab Kierdorf: Concordiasee, Köttinger See, Dinnendahlsee

To this day, lignite is mined in the “Rhineland lignite mining area” – no surprise there. Of course, we know the large open-cast mines of Hambach, Inden and Garzweiler, but there were also many smaller lignite mines that were closed down decades ago, the remains of which are now renatured in the form of tailings heaps and open craters and …

The tour was very muddy in places. It would definitely be nicer to walk in the summer.
