The Hammerteich, remnants of an early industrial forge and today the home port of many ship model builders. 🤓 The pond was dammed in 1722 to serve as an energy source for the manufacturer Peter Lange's first Witten hammer mill.

Hiking

Below the Hohenstein is the Hammerteich. It is a small reservoir of the Borbachs shortly before its confluence with the Ruhr. Shaded hiking trails through the forest run along the shore. On the east side there is the possibility to let model boats into the water and to steer over the lake. For children there is also a playground here.

Hiking

At the foot of the Hohenstein is the Hammerteich, it is definitely a local recreation area
and serves the local ship model builders as a fairway.
