Baldeneysee Essen: local recreation by the water
With the Baldeneysee Essen, the large Ruhr reservoir in the south of the city, the Ruhr metropolis has a top local recreation area to offer. Water sports enthusiasts will get their money's worth at Baldeneysee Essen and swimming is also permitted again at a designated point in Lake Baldeney. Another attraction is the boat trip on Lake Baldeney: on boat tours with the White Fleet you can admire the lake and the area along the Ruhr from the water. Want some nostalgia? Get on the Hespertalbahn! The historic museum train invites you to take a journey into the past.

Hiking and relaxing at Baldeneysee Essen
Would you rather be an active athlete? As a cyclist or inline skater you will find well-developed paths around Lake Baldeneysee Essen. As a hiker you climb the Baldeneysteig. Restaurants and beer gardens around the lake ensure your physical well-being.

"A new hiking paradise on a 27-kilometer route was created in 2017 around Lake Baldeneysee in Essen. The circular hiking trail is part of the Green Capital Days as part of the Green Capital of Europe and leads past small settlements, extensive fields, special sights and unique views of the city's cities Ruhr area."

A real nature and recreational area.
Be sure to walk around the entire lake (tip: the Baldeneysteig).
You get to see all facets of this natural paradise.

Popular place to visit, so on the weekends and in good weather always very crowded.

“Then we head off into the well-traveled Hammer Mark and over the muddy Augustasteig down to Lake Baldeney.
The lake is flat and there is hardly any wind.
Seagulls frolic on driftwood. Coots aggressively show that they are in charge in their size class and drive away grebes and mallards."

Lake Baldeneysee, surrounded by beautiful nature, can be circled on foot or by bike.
Many water sports are possible on the water but the lake can also be enjoyed by passenger boat.
A nice place to relax but be careful, it can get very crowded on nice weekends.
