선데른(자우어란트)‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

A detour around the Heve Peninsula is definitely worth it. The path is paved throughout, easy to drive on and provides interesting information about the flora and fauna in the region on various display boards. There is even a passenger ship pier for sightseeing trips in the area.

The Sorpesee has the third largest dam wall of all Sauerland reservoirs. From here you have a great view over the lake. There are many benches for long breaks. The cycle path leads over the wall around the reservoir and is in excellent condition. Sometimes it is shared by skaters and hikers. Partly the route leads through very beautiful forest sections.

The Hevearm and Hevesee nature reserve to the south is 320 hectares in size and serves to protect nationally important biotopes as well as rare plant and animal species. From August to April, tens of thousands of waterfowl come here every year, sometimes staying for months. They make the Möhnesee a bird sanctuary of international importance, here the densely wooded nature reserves dominate.

The water from the lake is used to wash the stones in the nearby Hönnetal limestone works. The washed-out sediments are washed back into the lake and settle there. The lake in the quarry owes its name to the intense color of the water: The Blue Lagoon. It is 80 meters deep and has a water temperature of 8 degrees.

Easy parking, nice interesting path with a good view of the limestone quarry. The observation tower is also worthwhile. Here you can see more than 40 km in good visibility. A board on the strand helps for orientation.

Nice view of Langscheid

The popular local recreation area around the picturesque Hexenteich invites you to take relaxing walks and adventurous hikes. In an idyllic atmosphere you can unwind and enjoy nature. Those who are particularly attentive on their tour around the pond will not only discover the tall wooden sculptures, the romantic hearts, but with a little luck even red-eared turtles.

from the dam you have a beautiful view of the lake.
