Lake Harkort
Address
Lake Harkort
58313 Herdecke
Properties:
Lake Harkort was created at the beginning of the 1930s by damming it as a river sewage treatment plant and bears the name of the entrepreneur Friedrich Harkort. On the Herdecke side, it is bordered by the Ruhr viaduct, while on the Wetter side, the connecting bridge between Hagen and Wetter marks its extent.
Well-developed footpaths and cycle paths along the lake allow for long walks and cycle tours. The RuhrtalRadweg leads directly along the shore of Lake Harkort between Herdecke and Wetter. There are also a variety of activities on the water: a round trip on the MS Friedrich Harkort passenger boat offers a broader perspective of the lake and its surroundings. Lake Harkort is also available for sailing, rowing and canoeing.
The Ruhr Viaduct is a striking structure in the Ruhrtal. This 313-metre-long sandstone construction spans the Harkortsee between Herdecke and Hagen at a height of almost 30 meters.
