Harkortsee is a beautiful lake in Witten, a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is named after the Harkort family, who played an important role in the industrialization of the region in the 19th century.
The Harkortsee offers numerous recreational opportunities for visitors. You can swim, sail, row and fish there.
There is a scenic hiking trail around the lake, perfect for walks and bike rides. The surrounding nature is very attractive and invites you to explore the idyllic landscape.
There is also a restaurant on the Harkortsee with a view of the lake where you can have a bite to eat.

In January 1931, the lake was created by the Ruhrverband as a river sewage treatment plant and, along with the Hengsteysee, is one of six reservoirs around the Ruhr.
