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.

From mid-2007 to early 2009, the dam was completely renovated. Among other things, cracks and joints in the masonry had to be repaired, the roadway and railings had to be renewed and the arches of the flood relief had to be repaired. For the duration of the work, the top of the wall, the parking lot at the dam and the toilet facilities were closed to visitors. The renovation work, particularly on the railings and arches, has permanently changed the appearance of the dam.[8] In the years 2020 to 2022, the wall on the water side, which is stressed by the fluctuating water level, was renovated in three construction phases. In order to clear a four-meter-wide strip below the crown for work, the Lister Dam had to be lowered by 4.50 meters at a time. In this area, all joints could be chiseled out and loose stones could be anchored or replaced. After repointing and sandblasting, the character of the quarry stone masonry can be clearly seen again. A total of 30 kilometers of wall joints on both sides of the wall were treated in this way, which strengthened the Lister dam for decades to come.

The planning for the construction of the Listertalsperre goes back to the Ruhrtalsperreverein (RTV), founded in 1899, which had set itself the task of supplying water to the rapidly growing Ruhr area. Government master builder Ernst Link and construction director of the RTV had assessed the Listertal as particularly suitable when looking for other suitable locations for the construction of a dam. His report from 1905 was soon followed by the founding of the Lister Dam Cooperative, which tackled the construction of the dam with the financial support of the RTV. The ground-breaking ceremony took place on September 13, 1909, and almost three years later, on July 5, 1913, the ceremonial inauguration took place by director Kluge from Braunschweig, the head of the cooperative

The Sorpesee offers a good network of cycle paths, if you want to use the adjacent forest area with your MTB, you will be rewarded with great views.

The beautiful Listertalsperre was built from 1909 to 1912. This is accessible by bike.

There is always something to discover on the water.

Unfortunately on the one hand only to be bypassed via the main road ... otherwise already to be seen
