Tips

Halbe Ruhrpott-Rennschneggen

July 14, 2020

The surroundings of the lake and the lake itself offer a particularly varied and panoramic hiking area. On the one hand Fischlaken with its rather open landscape and great panoramas and on the other hand the wooded part with the Korte cliff (must visit!) and several rest stops.

All this is connected by the almost 27-kilometer-long Baldeneysteig (plus the side views of the Isenburg ruins and the Korte cliff). Highly recommended. Since there are many great places for a short or longer break, enough time should be planned. Sturdy shoes (hiking or trekking shoes) and sure-footedness are required for the Baldeneysteig.

The Baldeneysee is always worth a hike, as you can walk all the way around it and see many different uses and sides. From sailing ships and rowing clubs, herons, cormorants and other waterfowl, gastronomy and the lock, there is so much to see.

"... Meadows and fields shaped the flat valley through which the Ruhr flowed about 80 years ago. Behind a small dyke there were isolated farms, and the grassland was certainly used for cattle breeding. In a few places, small ferries made it possible for there to be no bridges Crossing of the river. This was flanked to the right and left with a respectful distance by two small railway lines, the Ruhrtalbahn and the Hespertalbahn. On the Ruhrtalbahn, the Carl Funke mine diligently mined coal and even had a small loading station. On the Hespertalbahn, on the other side of the river , the Pörtingsiepen colliery existed.The large estate of the Krupp industrial family, the Villa Hügel, was already visible from afar in the valley.
If you walk today on the meadows and fields of yesteryear, you get wet feet. Because in 1933 the largest of the six Ruhr reservoirs in the area of the district was opened at this point by the Ruhrverband. Since then, the Baldeneysee has stretched between the districts of Werden, where the weir is located, and Kupferdreh over a total length of approx. 7.8 km and an average width of approx. 350 m. The lake understandably follows the shape of the original Ruhr valley and has the Shape of a curved banana. The storage volume of the lake is around 8.3 million m³. In addition to generating electricity from hydropower, the lake is mainly used for the sedimentation and purification of the Ruhr water for drinking water use and for leisure and recreation... "
