The Hengsteysee is one of six reservoirs of the Ruhr and is located between Dortmund and Hagen. It is a popular destination and can be negotiated by bicycle or on foot via various routes. For walking is particularly well the trail on the north shore of the lake. Up here are various trails, which always share a great view of the lake. In addition, the small paths above the main path are much quieter - right on the lake is especially at the weekend in good weather schonmal pretty much "traffic".
