Ölper Lake

Highlight • Lake

When the weather is good, you can take a relaxing walk around the lake.
As a first visit, I liked it a lot. It's fun by bike or on foot.

🏞️ Ölpersee

Located near the site of the old mill, Ölpersee is a popular recreational area. It was created in the 1960s by gravel extraction for the construction of the city highway. Today, it also serves as an important flood control retention basin for the Oker River.
