Hiking

The region around the Möhnesee is one thing above all: nature, activity and relaxation. The “Westphalian Sea”, as the lake is affectionately called, is the largest dam in the Sauerland and a popular excursion destination. 40 kilometers of shoreline invite you to sunbathe, hike, cycle and do all kinds of water sports. The diverse landscape around the lake is attractive in every season.

Hiking

The Möhnetalsperre was built from 1908 to 1913 and inaugurated on July 12, 1913 by the Ruhrtalsperrenverein. In the year of the inauguration, it was the largest dam in Europe. During the Second World War, the wall was destroyed by a British bombing during the night of 16 to 17 May 1943. Due to the tidal wave that poured over the Möhne far into the Ruhr Valley, nearly 1,600 people lost their lives. The reconstruction, using the original building materials, was completed on October 3, 1943 with the application of the road surface on the dam crown.
