For Water Sports Enthusiasts
Lake Möhnesee, affectionately known as the “Westphalian Sea”, is the largest reservoir in North Rhine-Westphalia and a paradise for anyone who loves being on the water.
Thanks to its distinctive east-west orientation, it often offers ideal, and sometimes challenging, wind conditions, making it a magnet for sailors and windsurfers. Those looking for a more peaceful experience will find the sheltered areas along the shore perfect for leisurely stand-up paddleboarding or relaxed canoe trips.
The fish-rich lake also offers excellent opportunities for anglers, whether from the shore or from a boat, allowing you to enjoy the tranquillity of nature. During the summer months, the public bathing areas at the lakeside park and in Delecke, as well as the sandy “Uferlos” beach in Wamel, are perfect for cooling off.
With a local boat rental service offering pedal boats, SUPs and canoes, you can get out on the water straight away without having to bring your own equipment.
