Hiking

Phoenix Lake in Dortmund is a man-made lake in the Hörde district, created on the former site of the Phoenix-Ost steelworks. After the steelworks was closed in 2001, the site was remediated and flooded in 2010 to create a new residential and recreational area. The lake covers approximately 24 hectares and is surrounded by a 3.2-kilometer circular path for pedestrians and cyclists. From the Kaiserberg dump to the east, there is a magnificent view of the recreational and new development area.
