Nice place to stay in the middle of the city. Restaurants are also available and you take a separate path to the pedestrians around the lake.

The Phoenix Lake in Dortmund is an outstanding example of structural change in the city and the Ruhr area. An artificial lake measuring around 24 hectares was created on the site of the former Phoenix-Ost steelworks and opened to the public in spring 2011. With its 24 hectares of water surface, the lake even exceeds that of the Alster in Hamburg. Excavation work for the lake began in September 2006, with around 2.5 million cubic metres of soil being moved. Flooding of the lake began on October 1, 2010 and reached the first target level about a year later.
