Guided Story

Feel that fresh breeze coming off the water? Back in 1929, this place marked a new era when the Hengsteysee became one of the first Ruhr reservoirs. Look to your left—those green hills hide the natural gem of Uhlenbruch. Behind you, towards Bathey, many water birds have made their home. Did you know the lake isn't just for relaxation? It's vital for flood control and water management. Sit back and appreciate the harmonious blend of human ingenuity and nature thriving together here.
