Always nice here.

The large, open water area of the Hevearm, in conjunction with the main body of water of the Möhnesee, is a traditional migration, resting and wintering area for numerous endangered divers, ducks and the osprey. The area is characterized by nationally important amphibious habitats and siltation biotopes and is of international importance for migrating, resting and wintering waterbirds.

The Möhnesee, often referred to as the "Westphalian Sea", is one of the largest reservoirs in Germany and is picturesquely located in the Sauerland, near the Ruhr area. This idyllic location makes the lake a popular destination for those seeking local recreation and long-term vacationers. The Möhnesee and its surroundings offer a wide range of leisure activities, including hiking, cycling, water sports and fishing, making it a versatile destination. The history of Lake Möhne begins with the construction of the Möhne Dam in August 1909. The dam was originally used to generate energy and supply drinking water and, with its impressive quarry stone wall, is one of the region's main attractions. The lake itself was artificially created and yet fits harmoniously into the surrounding landscape as if it had always been part of it. The southern part of the lake borders on the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park, a varied and extensive forest area that offers ideal conditions for nature lovers and those seeking relaxation. The shores of Lake Möhne stretch over 40 kilometers and invite you to enjoy a variety of activities. The excellent water quality of the lake also makes it a popular place for bathing, swimming and water sports. The Möhnesee is also an important habitat for many animal and plant species. In particular, the Hevearm and Hevesee nature reserve to the south, a 320 hectare area that protects rare plant and animal species and attracts tens of thousands of water birds every year, underlines the ecological importance of the Möhnesee. This makes the lake a bird sanctuary of international importance. Overall, the Möhnesee is a fascinating example of the successful combination of human engineering and nature conservation, offering visitors a unique mix of relaxation, sport and nature experience.

Definitely worth a trip

A beautiful place to cycle

The Möhnesee is always worth a visit.

A viewing hill with an observation platform was created here in 2008 by the North Rhine-Westphalia Foundation. The vantage point can only be reached by stairs.

The cycle paths around the Möhnesee are in excellent condition. Endless nature on the south side, plenty of places to stop for refreshments (some establishments closed at the beginning of the week) and a constant view of the water.
