에네페-루르-크라이스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

There are lots of lovely places to stop and sit around the lake, little stands, coffee carts and restaurants where you can relax and enjoy a wonderful view over Lake Kemnader. Most of the paths are asphalt, but the cobblestones in some places probably mean speed restrictions, which can sometimes cause quite a bit of unrest as they are quite uneven. In the square in front of Blankenstein Castle there is a small ice cream parlor, which has currently been moved into a cart, but where you can get delicious ice cream and the service is very friendly. The highlight at the end of the tour is Blankenstein Castle, which, if you dare to go up into the tower for free, offers a wonderful view over the whole valley. You can also get this if you walk from the restaurant to the wall at the end of the beer garden. There is also a lovely view and you can take wonderful photos. When the restaurant is open you can also eat well there and the staff are very friendly.

Hengsteysee is a popular reservoir in the Ruhr area, created in 1929 and located between Hagen, Herdecke and Dortmund. It was created by damming the Ruhr to improve water quality and serves as an important recreational area. The lake is surrounded by a 6.5km footpath and cycle path, allowing for walks and cycle rides along the shore. The route offers many opportunities to linger, with benches, playgrounds and small restaurants along the way. Hengsteysee is also attractive for water sports enthusiasts, with rowing, sailing and canoeing available. During the summer season, the excursion boat "Freiherr vom Stein" operates on the lake, connecting various moorings, including the Lenne estuary and Hohensyburg. The lake borders the Ardey Mountains to the north, providing a picturesque backdrop, while birdwatchers can spot many aquatic birds such as the Great Crested Grebe. Of historical interest are the remains of Niedernhofen Castle, which are hidden in the lake, and the so-called Mouse Tower, which used to be part of a pedestrian bridge. The proximity to Hohensyburg with its castle ruins and the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial makes Hengsteysee an ideal starting point for exploring the region.

Really great path along the lake. When the weather is nice, however, it is often very crowded.

Yes, the bike rolls very well here.
