The Hengsen reservoir, created in 1937 to produce drinking water, is located south of Holzwickede and north of the Ruhr. A special feature is the “Island of Hengsen” between the lake and the river. In addition to sedimentation, the lake also serves to recharge groundwater and is part of the Hengsen waterworks. Despite its use for drinking water, there is a walking path on the west bank that provides insights into the lake's idyllic location. An island in the reservoir is home to a cormorant breeding colony, which, however, has largely destroyed the vegetation there.
