The confluence of the Lenne

Highlight • River

The Lenneradweg leads directly along the tributary of the Lenne to the Ruhr. You have a great view of the estuary. The old railway bridge is also very impressive.

Ruhr Viaduct at Harkort Lake

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge is a great photo opportunity. You feel like you've gone back in time. If a steam locomotive were to roll over it, the time jump would be perfect. ;)

Great view of the Ruhr Viaduct in Herdecke. With a length of 313 m and 12 semi-circular arches of 20 m each, the viaduct spans the valley.

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

Great corner on Hakortsee. And the viaduct is worth at least 1 photo. You can also take a break in Herdecke.

Hengsteysee and Harkortsee belong together like brother and sister. Both are former water bodies used by heavy industry that have been converted into well-used recreational waters with good water quality …

Here on the south bank of the reservoir you have a magnificent view to the north on the wooded steep slopes of Syberg, on top of the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument and the ruins of Hohensyburg stand.
