🌊 At Offlumer See in Neuenkirchen, there's a unique feature related to the water, closely linked to its industrial history and current nature conservation efforts. The Water Outflow (Cooling Water Inflow) A distinctive feature of Offlumer See is an area where slightly warmed cooling water is fed into the lake. This inflow has an interesting ecological effect: Ice-free in winter: Thanks to the slight warming, this area along the shore usually remains ice-free, even during severe frost. Bird paradise: This attracts numerous water birds in winter, which find open water and food there when the rest of the lake is already frozen over. For nature observers, this "water outflow" is therefore a particular highlight during the colder months.

🏰History and Function The lake was created from 1935 onwards by the intensive extraction of sand and gravel. The hopper towers were formerly used to wash and sort the extracted gravel and to temporarily store it for transport by truck or railcar. Since industrial use ended in 2005 and the lake was transformed into a recreational area as part of the Regionale 2004 project, the hoppers have found a new purpose.

🌊 Lake Offlum in Neuenkirchen (near Steinfurt) is known for its distinctive red funnel-shaped towers, often referred to as gravel dumping hoppers. These structures are the lake's prominent landmark and a direct testament to its industrial past.

The funnels are the landmark of Lake Offlum.

There are great cycling and hiking trails around the lake.

🕊️ The sand martin nesting tower is a special nature conservation project on the border between Neuenkirchen and Wettringen, right in the Offlumer See / Haddorfer Seen recreation area. Since sand martins naturally nest in steep riverbanks or in quarries, which are often missing or built over today, this tower was erected as an artificial nesting aid.
