Lake Knielinger See is supplied with freshwater from the Rhine harbor. The water then flows into the Alb via the Willichgraben. Since 2016, the Federbach stream has been diverted around the lake in a ditch because the lake was in danger of overflowing due to the highly nutrient-rich water of the Federbach stream.

There are seating areas with a nice view. A good location for a break.

What can I say: not pretty, but it's a must. Interesting subjects for architectural photographers, nonetheless.
