The North Beach at Lake Elbsee is a popular local recreation area and an important part of the leisure experience around the lake. It offers a spacious sandy area reminiscent of a natural beach, allowing visitors to experience the feeling of vacation and relaxation right on their doorstep. The facility was deliberately designed to combine the character of a natural bathing and leisure area with the requirements of safety and environmental protection. The beach area was created during the development of Lake Elbsee as a leisure and recreation area. The goal was to create an attractive access to the water that appeals to both swimmers and families with children. The wide sandy area and gently sloping shore make the North Beach particularly suitable for children and non-swimmers. At the same time, the open water surface offers a variety of activities for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. Technically speaking, the North Beach was designed to be stable and protected against erosion caused by water movement, while at the same time not hindering natural processes. These include carefully designed shore reinforcements made from environmentally friendly materials that preserve the habitat of aquatic plants and animals. The sand is regularly maintained and supplemented to ensure consistent beach quality. The infrastructure on the North Beach includes restrooms, changing rooms, and seating areas, which increase visitor comfort. Signage and safety measures such as lifeguards and designated bathing areas also ensure a safe stay near the water. The North Beach is easily accessible and integrated into the surrounding hiking and cycling trails, making it a popular destination for day trips. In addition to recreation, the North Beach also plays a role in environmental and nature conservation. The natural design of the shore areas and the protection of the surrounding wetlands preserve an important habitat for waterfowl, amphibians, and other animals. Visitors can thus ideally combine nature experiences with leisure activities. Overall, the North Beach on Lake Elbsee is a successful example of the combination of leisure activities, nature conservation, and technical planning. It offers a wide range of uses and contributes to the quality of life in the region.

The Elbsee near Düsseldorf is a valuable natural gem within the city, ideal for a peaceful hike or nature observation. The lake is located in the "Elbsee" nature reserve and is surrounded by a roughly 7 km long hiking trail, perfect for a relaxing stroll. The path leads through reed beds, meadows, and forests, offering repeated beautiful views of the lake. A highlight is the 7.5 meter high observation tower on the southern shore, which offers a sweeping view of the lake and the surrounding nature reserve. The tower was built in 1998 and is a popular spot for nature observation. The Elbsee is a nutrient-poor body of still water with a rich flora and fauna. In winter, it serves as a resting place for numerous bird species. Rare birds such as sand martins and little ringed plovers breed on the central island in the lake. The northern shore, with its shallow waters and reed beds, is of particular ornithological importance. In spring and summer, you can observe dragonflies, butterflies, and other insects here. On the eastern shore of the lake is a water sports center, which houses diving, canoeing, surfing, and sailing clubs, as well as the DLRG (German Lifesaving Association). A wellness center is located immediately to the north. However, the area around the water sports center is not part of the nature reserve. A popular hiking trail leads from the observation tower across Lake Menzel to the Elbseeblick (viewpoint), offering diverse landscapes and interesting photo opportunities. The trail is easy to walk and suitable for all fitness levels. Lake Elbsee is a place of peace and nature, ideal for a break from everyday life. Whether hiking, observing nature, or simply enjoying the scenery – everyone will find their place here.

Lake Unterbach is located south of Düsseldorf and extends as far as Hilden. It is one of the region's most popular recreational areas and offers a wide range of opportunities for leisure, sports, and relaxation. The circular path around the lake is well-developed and ideal for hiking, walking, or jogging. Along the way, the surroundings alternate between forest, water, reed beds, and meadows – creating a very diverse landscape. The spacious meadows surrounding the lake are particularly beautiful. In good weather, picnics, games, or simply relaxation are often held here. Many families bring blankets and games – badminton, Frisbee, or soccer are not uncommon. The lake is also a worthwhile destination for children: there are playgrounds, shallow shorelines, and plenty of space to run around. The lake has two lidos (north and south shores) with sunbathing lawns, bathing areas, changing rooms, and restaurants. These are especially popular in summer, as are many for swimming, sailing, and stand-up paddling. There are also boat rentals, barbecue areas (some require reservations), and several places to stop for refreshments – from kiosks to restaurants. The lake is very busy on weekends and during school holidays, especially in good weather. Those seeking peace and quiet should start as early as possible or visit on weekdays. Unterbacher See is also easily accessible by public transport or bike.
