    Cycling

    Here on the east bank of the Effelder Waldsee, in the municipality break, there is also a beautiful vantage point for bird watching. A little overgrown at the moment.

    There is currently a lot of activity among the waterfowl.

    Hiking

    A sandy beach invites you to relax. From here you have a beautiful view of the lake. Dogs can also romp here in the sand or water.

    Attention: The northern and western banks of the Effelder Waldsee are designated as a nature reserve, bathing is not permitted here.
