The Möhnesee, often referred to as the "Westphalian Sea", is one of the largest reservoirs in Germany and is picturesquely located in the Sauerland, near the Ruhr area. This idyllic location makes the lake a popular destination for those seeking local recreation and long-term vacationers. The Möhnesee and its surroundings offer a wide range of leisure activities, including hiking, cycling, water sports and fishing, making it a versatile destination.

The history of Lake Möhne begins with the construction of the Möhne Dam in August 1909. The dam was originally used to generate energy and supply drinking water and, with its impressive quarry stone wall, is one of the region's main attractions. The lake itself was artificially created and yet fits harmoniously into the surrounding landscape as if it had always been part of it.

The southern part of the lake borders on the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park, a varied and extensive forest area that offers ideal conditions for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation. The shores of Lake Möhne stretch over 40 kilometers and invite you to enjoy a variety of activities. The excellent water quality of the lake also makes it a popular place for bathing, swimming and water sports.

The Möhnesee is also an important habitat for many animal and plant species. In particular, the Hevearm and Hevesee nature reserve to the south, a 320 hectare area that protects rare plant and animal species and attracts tens of thousands of water birds every year, underlines the ecological importance of the Möhnesee. This makes the lake a bird sanctuary of international importance.

Overall, the Möhnesee is a fascinating example of the successful combination of human engineering and nature conservation, offering visitors a unique mix of relaxation, sport and nature experience.
