One of the many beautiful lakes of the Ville.

The Untersee near Liblar is part of the Ville lake chain, a group of residual lakes that formed after early lignite mining on the Ville ridge. Unlike the heavily used bathing lakes in the surrounding area, the Untersee is a protected body of water that is not freely accessible. Older reclaimed forests, some of whose trees are now 30 to 70 years old, line its shores. The lake is ecologically significant primarily due to the presence of stoneworts, which are considered very sensitive.

The short, rather overgrown section of the trail, at the beginning or end depending on which way you're driving, appears to have been cleared. It's very easy to get through.
