Germany turns former coal mines into Europe's largest lake landscape

Original: Germany transforms former coal mines into Europe's largest lake landscape

Germany is converting its former coal mining region into what is being described as Europe's largest lake landscape, with flooded open-pit mines transformed into lakes for recreation and tourism. The project, compared to Lake Como in coverage, is being held up as a striking example of post-coal economic and environmental transition.

Why now: The large-scale transformation of an industrial coal region into a tourist lake district is an unusual and hopeful example of the energy transition.
