      At lunchtime and when the sun is shining, the view is most beautiful.

        A beautiful view of the lake, avoid holidays with nice weather because of the heavy traffic

            The Haltern Reservoir, located in the town of Haltern am See in North Rhine-Westphalia, is a man-made lake that serves as both a local recreation area and a water reservoir. The reservoir was completed in the 1930s to ensure the region's water supply, especially in times of drought.

            Today, the lake is a popular destination for numerous leisure activities. It offers opportunities for sailing, windsurfing, fishing and swimming. There are well-developed cycling and hiking trails around the lake that meander through the charming landscape of the Münsterland. The combination of the water landscape and adjacent forests, which provide relaxation and active recreation in equal measure, is particularly attractive.

            In the immediate vicinity is the Haltern Roman Museum, which offers interesting insights into the history of the region during the time of the Roman Empire. The lake itself is surrounded by numerous dining establishments that offer regional specialties, including freshly caught fish from the lake.
