The Heidesee is a quarry pond and about 54 hectares in size. It is in the Kirchheller Heide. In any weather you can observe the beautiful nature there. Take great photos or simply enjoy the enchanting landscape on the shore.

Heidesee in the Kirchhellen Heath

Highlight • Lake

Very good trails with some small slopes. The nearby trails through the forest and on the shores of the Heidese are quite varied. In the summer months, it can be quite crowded at the lake on the weekends.

Rotbachtal Nature Trail

Highlight • Trail

You can walk beautifully on natural paths directly along the stream. In winter, of course, it's muddy in places. But at the weekend it was too crowded for a relaxed dog tour.

November 19, 2022,Heidesee-Wanderung mit Sonnenuntergang

I did this little hike after work. The start and finish was the free car park on Postweg (opposite the "Landhaus zum alten Brunnen").

From there it went on beautiful paved forest paths to Heidesee.

Highlights are always the bridge that divides both halves of the lake and the different shore regions to linger. On my evening hike I was …

After three weeks the first little hike. It's not so easy to walk with an orthosis on my arm, but I just had to get out in this weather. 🏃‍♀️. Since I haven't done much this year, I'm already noticing that I'm a little out of shape. But she will come back. It's still going to take a while to …

September 4, 2023,🌞Heidesee Runde bei Kirchhellen🤗🌞

🌞🌞🌞Sun out this time to Heidesee near Kirchhellen. The hiking car park is very large and very empty on weekdays. At first I was a little disappointed 😞 because the lake is hidden behind dense bushes and trees. But the further you went, the more often you could see the lake 🤣 The last section was a beautiful forest tour. …
