De Witt Lake

Highlight • Lake

To the north of the dam, the larger part of De Wittsee offers opportunities for swimming, sailing and canoeing. The smaller lake in the south, on the other hand, is protected because numerous water birds breed here in spring.

Hike in the best weather around the large and small De Wittsee and the surrounding area. Like a little vacation. At the parking lot there is an interesting mini golf course with a restaurant where you can linger.

But it was beautiful in this weather.
