민덴 뤼베케‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

The Oberlübber Bergsee, also known as the "Blue Lake," is picturesquely situated in the Wiehen Hills near Oberlübbe in the municipality of Hille. Formed from a former quarry, the quarry filled with groundwater and rainwater after mining ceased, creating a small but impressive body of water. With a length of approximately 167 meters, a width of up to 50 meters, and an area of around 0.8 hectares, it is considered the largest mountain lake in the Wiehen Hills and also one of the northernmost mountain lakes in Germany. The lake lies at an altitude of approximately 200 meters above sea level and is surrounded by steep rock faces and dense forest, giving it a tranquil and secluded atmosphere. The dramatic landscape, shaped by the industrial past of the quarry, contrasts strikingly with the natural regeneration by trees and vegetation. This contrast makes the Oberlübber Bergsee a fascinating subject for photography and a special place for quiet nature observation. However, the lake is not open to the public as the land is private. Steep cliffs and the great depth pose dangers, which is why activities such as swimming or picnicking on the shore are not recommended.

old nature reserve in NRW - beautiful in every season

The lake landscape near Hävern is a beautiful nature reserve in the natural area of the Wesertal between the districts of Hävern and Großenheerse in the town of Petershagen. The area extends over 104 hectares and is part of the EC bird sanctuary "Weseraue". The former gravel ponds are now biotopes for water birds and offer a picturesque backdrop for walks and exploration.

The nature reserve was established in 1936 and is one of the oldest in Westphalia. The Heideweiher pond, with its special flora, gives an impression of what the moor and heath-dominated Rahden region looked like before it was cultivated by humans.

A nice place to stop along the route with a great view.

A place to linger and enjoy the peace

In the area of the Werre renaturation there are also other small bodies of water.

Dear Frank, it is NOT the swan pond on the Bastau in Minden!🙈 It is the duck pond in the Sielpark near the Sielterrassen (Restaurant "Da Angelo") in Bad Oeynhausen‼️ By the way, the duck pond is not connected to the Werre or the Koktur canal that branches off from it. Please correct! Thank you.😊
