Schwarzes Wasser Lake in Diersfordt Forest

Beautiful - in any season, at the moment it looks a bit wild - nature is just being helped on the jumps; also interesting and educational

Oak Forest at Schwarzes Wasser

Highlight • Forest

Beautifully situated small lake with many vantage points to observe the local wildlife.
The forest around it looks very natural.
Most fallen trees are left lying and you can see how nature dismantles these trees.

Schwarzes Wasser

Highlight • Lake

In the midst of the local recreation area Diersfordter Wald lies the heath pond "Schwarzes Wasser" - a hidden gem and the oldest nature reserve in Wesel. It is scenically situated in a hollow surrounded by wooded dunes. Its name comes from the dark color of the water, which is caused by the humic substances in the moor vegetation. www.

View of the Schwarzes Wasser

Highlight • Lake

A really nice way with a great landscape, really recommendable. In early summer, however, there was hardly any water left. We even saw storks there. Otherwise there are several different species of ducks and geese, gray herons, dragonflies and many other animals to watch, such as woodpeckers, frogs and even grass snakes.

Here there is also a nice elevation from which you can watch all the waterfowl well. There are also many benches around the Black Water to rest and enjoy. From here you can also walk a great round to the Diersforter forest with its deer park and moor pond and back again.

Nothing is as it seems - and that applies very precisely to the Black Water in Wesel.

It is one of the oldest nature reserves in North Rhine-Westphalia. Its characteristic black color, caused by the humic substances in the moor vegetation, makes the lake appear quite gloomy even on sunny days. But the impression is deceptive: the nutrient-poor water is …
