Spend a nice day at the water
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.

Beautiful area of water
The Baldeneysee is a large area of water located around 10 minutes on train from the centre of Essen. This is not a must however it's a fantastic spot for a nice walk on a warm day. Only the photo's can do it justice.

Absolutely lovely!
If you go to Essen, Dortmund or Dusseldorf, do not miss the Baldeneysee. Take a river boat for a round tour of 2 hours and relax, surrounded by the beautiful nature. You could rent a bike or just walk around the forest. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
