에스펠캠프‬에서 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

Simply beautiful to look at

Just let your mind wander

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.

If you follow the barbed wire fence you will come to a locked gate; There are passages to the left and right of this gate. Whether you take the risk of entering the property is up to you. Scary fact: This lake is the scene of a homicide (2012) and the location of a body (2020)

A detour to the Lavelsloher See is worthwhile, a nice place for a break or for a walk around the lake.

The "classic" cycle route from Dünne/Dono/Oberbauerschaft/gorge trail to the Wiehengebirgs pass at Neue Mühle (Hasenbrücke) for everyone for whom the Kahle-Wart-Straße is too steep. I drive over the Wiehen several times a year, even if the path is quite bumpy and poorly maintained.
