Hennesee
Lake | Nature experiences
As an essential Ruhr dam in the Sauerland, the Hennesee fulfills water regulation and flood protection functions. At the same time, it shapes the region with a variety of nature and leisure activities, including a children's playground.
Properties:
The Hennesee, nestled in the natural surroundings of the Sauerland, offers a wide range of leisure activities. Boat trips on the MS Hennesee and moments of relaxation at the bathing bays characterize the maritime ambience. Shore paths such as the Wogenweg invite you to take a walk. Fishing, sailing and stand-up paddling are available for active pursuits. The SinnePfad provides insights into forest ecology. A children's playground, the "Pirate Bay" in Berghauser Bucht, completes the offer.
The 333 steps of the Himmelstreppe on the Hennedamm offer far-reaching panoramic views. The HenneBoulevard connects the lake with Meschede town center. Guided tours through the interior of the dam explain how it works technically. The region is also home to the Ramsbeck visitor mine, which explores the history of mining, and the Lörmecketurm tower, which offers extensive views across the Sauerland.
