The Heilenbecke dam was built between 1894 and 1896, making it the oldest dam in South Westphalia.
It served as a water reservoir for the hammer works and grinding cottages along the Heilenbecke. Today it is mainly used for drinking water production.
A 2.4 km circular hiking trail runs around the picturesque dam.

Fantastic circular route around the Heilenbecke dam. Cycling is prohibited here.

You can enjoy a leisurely hike around the dam. Only the forest paths are interesting for real hikers. 😎
