ヘンクシュタイ湖のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Even though the bridge is currently closed on one side, it's worth a visit for people with a passion for industrial heritage.

It's a fantastic hiking trail.

There are many small hiking trails there. We enjoyed walking there.

Water as far as the eye can see...

Every season has its charm, especially in autumn it conjures up beautiful colors

On certain dates, the factory can be visited on a guided tour.

If you walk along the Hengsteysee, you will always see the Koepchenwerk. The plant is one of the first two pumped storage power plants in Germany to be built simultaneously on a large scale and is considered a monument to the energy industry. It was built between 1927 and 1930 and has been preserved in an almost authentic technical and structural condition. The Koepchenwerk was shut down in 1994, but has been a listed building since 1986. Today it is a site of the Industrial Monument Foundation.

The Hengsteysee reservoir, completed in 1929, follows the course of the Ruhr and is located between Hagen, Herdecke and Dortmund. A 6.5 km long footpath and cycle path runs around the Hengsteysee, which is ideal for walking, jogging, cycling or inline skating.
