Krickenbecker Seen

I can only recommend the Krickenbeck Lake District to every hiker, there are many options for route planning.

A feeling of vacation arises between the two lakes.
This section is a real highlight 👍

A visit for nature lovers and anglers is worthwhile.

The path between the two lakes is just great. There are many good places to take a nice view to the left or to the right - depending on the direction of hiking - on the Hinsbecker Bruch and Glabbacher Bruch.

The Krickenbecker lakes with their largely untouched water landscape are a highlight in the cross-border nature park Maas-Schwalm-Nette. Hikers, cyclists and water sports enthusiasts will love the lakes along the Nette as well as nature lovers.

Beautiful lake landscape just before the border. Here is worth a visit. When the weather is nice there is a lot going on here.

Several benches to stay and enjoy 🍀

"... The lake landscape was declared a nature reserve as early as 1938. This was mainly due to the fact that the waters were very rich in nutrients and thus attracted numerous birds. The four Krickenberg lakes did not even come into being naturally A peat bog area was created and today they are like a clover leaf around Krickenbeck Castle. They are called Glabbacher Bruch, Hinsbecker Bruch, Schrolik (see) and Poelvennsee ... "

Again and again there are great views of the lake!

March 2021: "The dam over which Schlossallee continues separates Hinsbecker and Glabbacher Bruch.
Fortunately, there is little traffic today, so we can enjoy and take pictures of the countless, wonderful and photogenic water views undisturbed.
Another attraction is the small vantage point at the De Witt lake, which is equipped with two benches and invites you to linger. "

The Krickenbeck lakes emerged from the potting of the area on the Nette. Dia Bagger Lakes have filled up with water, creating large expanses of water and moorland areas. Which offer a habitat for a lot of birds and animals.

Cultivated but beautiful track where you are able to come close to many kind of birds

Even as a child I regularly went to the Krickenbecker See, because my grandmother watched the fish and gray herons with enthusiasm. The lakes are an absolute natural paradise.

Always a great starting point for hiking or bike tours.

When it gets cooler and maybe a bit hazy in autumn, it is no longer as crowded as it is in summer. There is still a lot to see. It is also worth visiting the nearby "Krickenbecker Seen Information Center".
