Currently, the forestry has or sets the ways in this area, and therefore they are for walking and cycling in a great condition! Stand Spring 2019. :-)

The Sorpesee, located in the Sauerland between the districts of Langscheid and Amecke in the city of Sundern, is a popular destination for those seeking relaxation and nature lovers. The Sorpe Dam, which dams the lake, was built between 1926 and 1935 and is an impressive construction with a height of 69 meters and a length of 700 meters. It not only serves to supply water and generate energy, but also as a leisure and recreation area.

Lake Sorpe and its surroundings offer a variety of leisure activities such as diving, rowing, sailing, windsurfing, beach volleyball and fishing. Additionally, there is a golf course, hiking trails, rock climbing opportunities, and four campgrounds along the western shore. The lake is a popular excursion destination for residents of the nearby Ruhr area as well as for Dutch tourists. During the summer season, visitors can explore the lake on the passenger ship MS Sorpesee. Access to the east bank is restricted to ensure high water quality for drinking water supplies, and private motorboats are not permitted on the reservoir.

The website sorpesee.com offers a comprehensive overview of accommodation, including camping options, Nordic holiday parks, tree houses, Swedish houses and Finntalos, all of which are in prime locations right on the lake. Visitors can relax in the Sundern indoor swimming pool, the Langscheid spa and the Sorpesee lido or get active on the AiRlebnisweg Amecke, a 3.4 km long circular hiking trail with 20 hands-on stations on the topics of water, breathing and air. The region also offers a variety of gastronomic experiences with a wide range of local specialties and international cuisine.

Overall, Lake Sorpe is a versatile destination for anyone looking for relaxation in nature as well as sporting activities. With its rich history, impressive dam and numerous recreational opportunities both on the water and in the surrounding landscape, Lake Sorpe offers an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages.
