The Sechs-Seen-Platte (Six Lakes Plateau) in the south of Duisburg is one of the city's largest natural and recreational areas. The area covers around 283 hectares, about half of which consists of water surfaces. The landscape is composed of several artificially created lakes, extensive forest sections, and open green areas, serving as a popular excursion destination for many people from the surrounding area. Geographically, the area lies between the districts of Wedau, Buchholz, and Großenbaum. The name comes from six lakes spread across the area: Wolfssee, Masurensee, Böllertsee, Wildförstersee, Wambachsee, and Haubachsee. The surroundings offer a mix of bathing areas, paths for walks and bike tours, as well as quieter, natural sections. Some of the lakes are interconnected: Masurensee and Wolfssee are in direct exchange, and Wolfssee borders Wildförstersee. There is also an underground connection between Masurensee and Wambachsee. On the western edge of Wambachsee, there is a weir, which, at higher water levels, diverts excess water into the old course of the Wambach and finally into the Dickelsbach. The Böllertsee is connected to the Wolfssee via a pipe on the south bank and has a controllable outlet into the Dickelsbach on the west bank. The Haubachsee is fed by the Haubach and discharges its water westward into the Wildförstersee. To do this, the forest path "Im Wolfsgrund" is crossed underneath before the water continues to flow openly. Three smaller bodies of water also flow through parts of the area: the approximately 9 km long Wambach, the approximately 22 km long Dickelsbach, which later flows into the Rhine, and the Haubach.

The Wildförstersee is located in the south of Duisburg and is part of the Sechs-Seen-Platte (Six Lakes Plateau), which also includes Wambachsee, Masurensee, Böllertsee, Wolfssee, and Haubachsee. The lakes, partly connected, have a total water surface area of around 158 hectares. The area is designed to be close to nature and is crisscrossed by large forest areas that offer a dense network of hiking trails. All lakes can be circumnavigated via well-developed paths along the shores. At Wildförstersee, targeted conservation and development measures for biotopes are implemented to promote local flora and fauna. While the southern area primarily offers peace and nature, the northern lakes are geared towards recreational activities. There, visitors will find playgrounds, sunbathing lawns, opportunities for rowing, sailing, surfing, canoeing, and diving, fishing spots, outdoor pools, boat rentals, barbecue areas, riding facilities, and a model boat harbor.
