Roughly translated, this would be the 'plateau of lakes in the Ville'. In the vicinity of Erftstadt, Brühl and Hürth many small and large lakes have been created due to
coal mining. The reforestation of the area was begun in 1920 by planting
beech,
pine,
oak and
larch trees. Today, there are about forty lakes that have sprung from the mining operations. List of lakes on the
