Hengsteysee – Ruhr Valley Cycle Route

Highlight • Lake

The Hengsteysee is one of six Ruhr reservoirs, it lies between Dortmund, Herdecke and Hagen. The Ruhr Valley Cycle Path runs along its shore, which is relatively narrow on this section because it leads partly over bridges and bridges. Nice to look at, but in good weather it can sometimes lead to "stop and go" maneuvers.

Take it easy, at least when you circle the lake from west to east. Because then you are spat out directly at the foot of the Syburg serpentines - at the latest here you will be warm again;)

View of the Koepchenwerk Power Station

Highlight • Monument

The Koepchenwerk is one of the first two large pumped storage power plants to be built in Germany at the same time. It is located on the Hengsteysee in the city of Herdecke in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The owner of the power plant, named after its planner Arthur Koepchen and commissioned in 1930, was the RWE Group until the end of 2016. Between 1985 and 1989, the modern power plant was built directly adjacent to the old plant on the lakeshore.

This monument has been owned by the Foundation for the Preservation of Industrial Monuments and Historical Culture since January 2017
