    The Harkortsee is one of six reservoirs on the Ruhr. It was named after Friedrich Harkort, who founded a machine factory here.

    From the castle Wetter above the water there is a great panoramic view of the lake and the surrounding Ardey Mountains. The castle is partially open to the public.

    Imposing industrial culture. There is always something to discover here. There is always something going on. Just check in advance "event dates".

    Here I expressly recommend the detour up to Wetter. Especially the old town / freedom around Burg Wetter is worth seeing.
