We feel a special connection to some places. But what does that actually mean? And how does such a relationship differ from one with a person? Wheel of Fortune Exercise: Inner Developmental Goals 3 - RELATIONSHIP As humans, we are born in need of help. Other living beings are capable of survival from birth; we depend on other people to feed us or protect us from cold and heat. And we organize the world so that it benefits and protects us. The fact that we are social, intelligent, and adaptable beings is our recipe for success. Living together is (not) a stroke of luck. Look for examples from your own life where this coexistence works well. And consider how the attitudes and feelings below contribute to this. (1) Appreciation Approach others and the world with a fundamental sense of appreciation, gratitude, and joy. (2) Connectedness A strong sense of being connected to or part of a larger whole, such as a community, humanity, or a global ecosystem. (3) Humility Being able to act in accordance with the needs of the situation without concern for one's own importance. (4) Empathy and Compassion The ability to treat others, oneself, and nature with kindness, empathy, and compassion, and to cope with the associated suffering.

In spring 2024, the paths will be in very good condition and accessible to any bicycle.

The trip around both reservoirs is really fun, but I could imagine that it could be crowded here when the weather is very nice.

The weir, which dams the largest of the six Ruhr lakes, belongs to the Ruhrverband. Even in times when sewage treatment plants take over the largest part of the water purification, the lake still fulfills its function in fine purification. The weir includes a lock and, since 2020, a fish lift to enable the animals to migrate, e.g. to find spawning grounds. The Ruhrverband has set up an information point on the weir on this subject, which is open on weekends during the summer months.

The Ruhr Viaduct in Herdecke spans the valley with a length of 313 m and 12 semi-circular arches, each with a span of 20 m.

The SteverLandRoute leads here directly along the Haltern reservoir and always allows great views of the large lake and the boats. The SteverLandRoute is the family bike path in the Münsterland: Here, information boards for adults and information boards especially for children (!) provide information about the great project. There are a total of 14 hands-on stations along the route. If you like, you can use the children's discovery card to travel from station to station, collect coin impressions and become a Stever expert. Have a look at our collection :)

A very well-kept bike path at the Haltern reservoir. If you drive here you have some nice viewpoints to the marina on the north shore.

ESPECIALLY IN SUMMER EVENINGS you can experience spectacular MOODS AND SUNSETS with wonderful RELEXIONS and LIGHT PLAYS on the WATER from here. Then the screeching WILD GEESE often fly over the lake in a V-shaped formation. And on top of the hill, the top floor of VILLA HÜGEL shines illuminated by the sun like a GEM....
