Why the Düren district wants to grow

The largest lake district far and wide will be created here: we’re establishing one of the most attractive landscapes in Central Europe at the site of today’s open-cast lignite mines – with water sports facilities, several leisure activities and, perhaps, even a place for your house by the lake. Pioneers will benefit, so it pays to be quick!

Already today though, our fifteen towns and communities are a very good alternative to the major cities – although these are only a stone’s throw away. Between Cologne, Düsseldorf and Aachen, between the North Eifel and the Jülich Börde area, and on the banks of the Rur (and later three large lakes), a quality of life can be found that is sorely missed in the large cities.
