How Germany's turning a mining pit into its largest artificial lake
Briefly

Cottbuser Ostsee lake is set to become Germany's largest artificial lake, transforming abandoned mining pits into valuable environmental assets through extensive research and planning.
While filling these holes with water may seem straightforward, the process involves significant scientific research to ensure ecological balance and sustainability of the artificial lakes.
The Cottbuser Ostsee project illustrates an innovative solution to repurposing mined land, demonstrating how cities can transform industrial wastelands into recreational and ecological zones.
With a projected shoreline of 26 kilometers, the Cottbuser Ostsee will not only be a remarkable feat of engineering but also a step towards revitalizing the landscape.
