    Tips

    April 8, 2021

    The Nette Lakes are part of the Schwalm-Nette Nature Park on the Lower Rhine, near the Dutch border. You are in the town of Nettetal in the district of Viersen. They got their name from the river Nette, in the valley of which these artificially dammed lakes are located, some of which have been enlarged by peat extraction.

    The following should be mentioned in detail: the "Kleine Breyeller See" (water area: 5.3 hectares), the "Große Breyeller See" (9.2 ha), the "Nettebruch" (13.2 ha), the "Windmühlenbruch" ( 6 ha), the "Ferkensbruch" (4.5 ha), the "Kleine De-Witt-See" (4.5 ha) and the "Große De-Witt-See" (22.5 ha). Further downstream, after the passage of the "Secretis" swamp, are the Krickenbecker Seen.

      The river Nette on its way to the confluence with the Niers runs through several lakes that were created from peat extraction. The large areas of water offer a habitat for many animal and bird species.

        Very idyllic and relaxing hiking route on the Nice Lakes premium hiking trail. You can find out all the information about this and what we have experienced and seen at: netreisetagebuch.de/premium-wanderweg-nette-seen
