The whole landscape here is wonderful; the bridge blends in as if it had always been there. All around are idyllic spots for resting, sunbathing, picnicking, or simply relaxing.

Emsaue Nature Reserve near Emsdetten-Sinningen

Highlight • Natural

If you go for a walk around the Hermeler Lake, it is also worth walking along the Ems and taking a look at the Emsaue nature reserve. You might even see a few kayakers.

July 25, 2023,Üppige und wilde Natur am Hermeler See 🪻🌳🌼

Evening round at the Hermeler See and the Ems. The ideal weather conditions of the last few weeks have produced a particularly lush nature. The narrow paths on Lake Hermel and on the Ems are overgrown in many places.

The Hermeler See is located in the Emsdetten nature reserve.
A nice hike around the lake and along a section of the Ems.
It should be taken into account that due to the damp weather, some of the paths along the edge of the path are very overgrown. We still enjoyed the tour. 😊🌾🌿🤗

March 29, 2025,Sinningen, Hermeler See 🤩🤩🤩Emsufer + Wald und Wiesen , kleine aber feine Runde 😊

So beautiful. We only met people at the Ems Bridge. Otherwise, there was only nature awakening. Small paths, some of them sandy. Soft forest floor. The only sounds were the rippling water and the sounds of the 🦆🦆🐦🦅. A little paradise.

Plan B - instead of a birthday party in Emsdetten (cancellation due to Corona), a small hike around the lake.
