Energy Path Grevenbroich

In Grevenbroich, the energy landscape and its spectrum can be discovered in various ways. The energy path illustrates connections between energy production, lignite mining, and recultivation. The circular route passes by the lignite forest, from whose plants lignite originated 30 million years ago. Other stops include the Garzweiler open-pit mine, which highlights the dimensions of lignite extraction, and the Neurath power plant, where electricity is produced from lignite. The wind turbines on the Vollrather and Frimmersdorfer heights, as well as the former largest photovoltaic system in Germany at Neurather See, are also noteworthy points of the tour, showcasing the possibilities of renewable energies.
