In the footsteps of mining
The Ümminger See in Bochum is one of the gems in the area and is suitable for walks as well as a stopover for hikes or excursions with MTB or trekking bike.
At the last stage of the Harpener Bach before it flows into the Langendreerbach, lies the Ümminger lake. It is a popular excursion destination and offers amidst the Ruhr area, the original Klärtich the mining numerous recreational opportunities.
Strollers, hikers, cyclists and joggers will find an extensive network of trails around the lake - which is not even much larger than the Harpener ponds, but because of its geometry from the banks better visible so perceived - with plenty of seating and various recreational opportunities. A playground, a roller-skating rink, a model boat dock for electric RC boats, a half-pipe, sports equipment and sunbathing areas offer opportunities for various tastes, from sports activities, family vacations to nonstop lingering. Inline skaters have no ideal conditions here because of the rough but easy to walk paths.

On the trail of mining
The Ümminger See in Bochum is one of the gems in the area and is suitable both for walks and as an intermediate destination for hikes or excursions with MTB or trekking bike.
At the last stage of the Harpener Bach, before it flows into the Langendreerbach, is the Ümminger See. It is a popular excursion destination and in the middle of the Ruhr area, the original mining pond offers numerous local recreation opportunities.
Walkers, hikers, cyclists and joggers will find an extensive network of paths around the lake - which is not even much larger than the Harpener Teiche, but because of its geometry is more visible from the shore edges - with numerous seating areas and various leisure activities. A playground, a roller skating rink, a model boat jetty for electric RC boats, a half pipe, sports equipment and sunbathing areas offer opportunities for different tastes, from sporting activities and family leisure to just lounging around. Inline skaters don't have ideal conditions here because of the rough but easily accessible paths.
