  1. 4.0 River Rhine (1.141 reviews)
    - The Bellejour was our hotel
    Saturday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Bodies of Water
    River Rhine image
    While traveling in Frankfurt for a few days, we had the fortune that Bellejour was docked am Main and available for lodging. The room was generous and comfortable, the ship was clean and attractive but the best part was the very helpful staff. Especially friendly and welcoming was Marcela, who engaged in helpful conversations and recommendations, and saw that all our needs were met. It was a very pleasant stay. See more..
  2. 4.5 Lake Aasee (592 reviews)
    - A pleasant 6.5 km walk
    Bodies of Water
    Lake Aasee image
    Aasee (Lake Aa) is no. 1 attraction in Münster, if you ask me. The churches and squares are pretty dull, the restaurants are not that interesting - but the lake is worth seeing. Or - don’t just see it. Take a walk around it. 6.5 km easy dirt road. See more..
  3. 4.5 Sechs-Seen-Platte Duisburg (188 reviews)
    - Greenest place of Duisburg
    Bodies of Water

  4. 4.5 Baldeneysee (116 reviews)
    - Spend a nice day at the water
    Bodies of Water
    Baldeneysee image
    The lake is pretty long. Approx. 8 km. You can enjoy a walk along the water. Or cycle around the lake on the good path. There is even a bridge (for walkers/cyclists only) to cross the lake. There are several places where you can stop for drinks, snacks & meals. Or bring your own to have a picknick, or sit on one of the many benches. On a sunny day, you can rent a sunbed/deckchair. When it gets too hot, just go into the water. There a designated areas where you are allowed to swim (although the water did not look too clean to me). If you are more into sports/activities: just rent a boat, go surfing, standup paddling, etc. You do not pay an entrance- or parking fee. You can also get to the lake by train. Railwaystation: Essen-Hügel. See more..

  7. 4.0 Ruhrquelle (67 reviews)
    - It is a spring...
    Spent 1-2 hours Bodies of Water
    Ruhrquelle image
    In the midd of winter, surrounded by snow, a steady stream of crystal clear water was pouring out. That is not so remarkable by itself. However, on the display board you could see that it is a rather nice place when the vegetation is out and everything is green. The spring is the "birthplace" of the river Ruhr who gave name to a whole region, the Ruhrgebiet. The Ruhrgebiet was the heart of coal mining, steel production and the engine for Germany's industrial growth and prosperity. And that's why this place is special: something small and rather insignificant can become big and important. Access by car is easy. Also many opportunities to access by hiking or biking for example from Winterberg. See more..
  8. 4.5 Aasee Bocholt (46 reviews)
    - the place where I always will be a kid
    Bodies of Water
    Aasee Bocholt image
    I grew up as a kid around this lake - and I can still go there everyday and feel as the kid I was (and still can be). take a day off, go there at any time of the year and choose what to experience: cycling, swimming, sailing, ice hockey, several playgrounds of different art and nature, reading, photo hunting - or just sitting on the restaurant and terrace next to the beach. My favorite spot in Bocholt! See more..
  9. 3.5 Möhneseeschifffahrt (38 reviews)
    - A trip back in time
    Spent 1-2 hours Bodies of Water • Dams
    Möhneseeschifffahrt image
    I wanted to see the Mohnesee Dam as I last saw it in 1985. It has changed considerably but in a nice way and it's still not too touristy. There are hotels and cafes alongside it but not to the extent I had imagined. It was a really lovely place and is well worth visiting. See more..
  10. 3.5 Hennesee Schifffahrt (32 reviews)

    Bodies of Water
    Hennesee Schifffahrt image
    This is a "Must" when you're in Meschede. The boat bring you to another part accross the lake. You can get off there and take a walk, then later you can take the boat back to the place you get on the boat. It's a beautiful lake. The location of the boat is behind the "Welcome Hotel" See more..

    Bodies of Water
    Wupper image
    Dank der Renaturierung der Wupper und der Verschönerung ihrer Ufer wird die Stadt immer schöner und lebenswerter. Diejenigen, die nach wie vor Vorurteile gegen die Stadt Wuppertal pflegen, kann ich nur raten, mal die Augen zu öffnen und sich umzuschauen. Das ist die grünste Stadt Deutschlands mit einem besonderen charakteristischen individuellen Flair. Nicht zuletzt dank der Wupper. See more..

    Der Freizeitsee Tuttenbrock image
    Visited this park with my family when we were holidaying in Neubeckum for two weeks. They have an excellent restaurant there with extremely friendly and welcoming staff who serve amazingly tasty and fresh food. You can sit out on the terrace or up on the balcony sipping your beer or cocktail and watch all the goings on on the lake. My kids enjoyed walking along the lake, feeding the ducks and coots and playing on the playground. See more..

    Pröbsting See image
    Artificial lake just 4 km from Borken linked with the city by a good bicycle path. Towards the west there is place for swimming. You can rent a boat at the boathouse and there is lots of space to picnic or even barbecue. When I was there in July it was not very crowded as the area is large and it was easy to find a quiet spot.

  33. 4.0 Tallesee (3 reviews)
    - Great place to walk your dog or bike
    Spent 2-3 hours Bodies of Water
    Tallesee image
    This lake and it's surrounding track is a great place to walk your dog and let them have a swim. Letting them off the leash is a bad idea since there are a lot of bikers and the highway is right next to it. As mentioned it is also a great track to ride with your bicycle since it is flat and not very crowded. I wouldn't recommend it for any hikes or walks since the scenery isn't that great and there are better lakes in the area aswell as there not being a lot of tracks to hike on. A walk around all lakes takes about 40 minutes for us. See more..

    On a hot day you may need a cool down, although the swimming lake is officially closed, access to the lake is still open. Locals were coming with picnics and people like to cycle nearby, there is also a nice path that goes around the lake.

    - Sonntagsspaziergang
    Spent < 1 hour Bodies of Water
    In gewissen Abständen machen wir einen Spaziergang um den Borner See. Man hat eine schöne Aussicht und läuft weiter in Richtung Borner Mühle an der Schwalm vorbei. Sonntags ist das Gebiet mit Fußgängern und Radfahrern stärker frequentiert. In Born sind mehrere Gaststätten, die aber nicht alle geöffnet haben. Das Haus Schröttges ist eine gute Adresse. Ein Parkplatz ist am Friedhof vorhanden. Born mit dem See ist ein beschaulicher Ort und einen Ausflug wert. See more..
  40. 1.0 Der Liblarer See (1 review)
    - Sommernat med Ulvinden Ilse.
    Bodies of Water • Beaches
    Vi kom til den skønt beliggende campingplads om aftenen 10. Maj.
    Lejren var låst og sikret. Ingen reagerede de første 15 minutter på vores opkald.

    Omsider kom vi ind og mødte en noget bister lejrchef -Ulvinden Ilse!:
    Nej, vi kunne ikke rejse næste dag tidligere end 8.
    Nej, vi kunne ikke betale på forhånd.
    Nej, vi kunne kun betale kontant.
    Nej, der var ingen bad nær den anviste plads.
    Nej, der var ingen toiletpapir nær bruserummene. De toiletter var reserveret fastliggerne.
    Nej, vi kunne ikke holde udenfor lejeren på en p plads. Den tilhørte skovejere, og han var imod vw campere.

    Pladsen var præget af bygningsarbejder efter gør-det-selv metoden.
    Alle -gæster som ansatte - optrådte som pryglede hunde.

    Men natten var lun og det er dejligt at sove med Lisbeth.
    Næste gang bliver det uden Ulvinden Ilse i baggrunden.
