View of the Möhnesee Dam

Highlight • Viewpoint

This dam is simply impressive.
And it is unimaginable that it was destroyed by a bomb attack and then quickly repaired.

This route is very ambiguous.
The northern shore of Lake Möhnesee is almost exclusively accessible by road.
TOO BAD!!!!
The southern shore has beautiful, quiet stretches.
We will soon cycle from the gatehouse along the eastern part of the southern shore and back, then make a nice coffee stop, and then cycle along the western part of the southern shore …

This tour is optional, but not mandatory. Most of the route is a bike path right next to the road, which is frequented by many motorcyclists, especially on weekends.

Today we went around the Möhnesee. We rented simple bikes from the campsite and off we went.😃
In the Käffken on the Möhnesee there was great homemade cake and a great coffee.
On to the dam, a little boat trip was a must. Then we went to the gatehouse, great atmosphere with art in the garden.
Ate a little something, …

Once around the Möhnesee. From the Torhaus car park, we went on a lap (figure eight) with my brother-in-law. Before we really got going, we had lunch at Martins Corner. Then we set off on a leisurely tour in the best possible cycling weather.

Comfortable tour around the Möhnesee. The view from the Möhneseeturm, 206 steps, is awesome. A stop at the Torhaus is an absolute must. Great location with a huge garden, artistic exhibitions and sculptures. Tasty burgers at Gironnimo in Delecke round off the day.

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

The Möhne Dam, which went into operation in 1913 as Europe's largest dam, is still an essential element in controlling the water flow of the Ruhr, accounting for over 25 percent of the total dam storage capacity in the Ruhr catchment area. With its 650-meter-long and up to 40-meter-high gravity dam made of rubble stone, 134.5 million cubic meters of …
