Baldeneysee
Lake | Nature experiences | Recreation and health
With the large Ruhr reservoir in the south of the city, Essen has a top recreational area to offer.
The Baldeneysee, dammed in 1931 as a water reservoir and to purify the Ruhr water, is now a recreational area of supra-regional importance. Rowing clubs, sailing and surfing schools around the 2.7 km² lake invite you to enjoy an active leisure time. Once a year, the elite of German sailors meet here for the Essen Week, Germany's largest inland lake regatta.

The 14.7 km circuit around the lake on inline skates, on foot or by bike is one of the most enjoyable leisure activities for sporty visitors to the lake. For those who prefer a more comfortable experience, the wooded banks of the lake and Ruhr can be explored from the boats of the "Weiße Flotte"
, an eye-catching sight in the heights: Villa Hügel, the residence of the Krupp industrialist family until the 1940s and today the venue for top-class art history exhibitions.
White Fleet Baldeney
The White Fleet Baldeney sets sail from April to October - for a round trip on Essen's home waters or a long-distance cruise on the Ruhr to the neighboring town of Mülheim - shore leave in Essen-Kettwig included on request.
