Dam Tour

Starting point of the tour is the mighty dam. Just walking across the dam crest (please push your bicycle) gives an impression of its dimensions. 40 meters high, 650 meters long, and over 100 years old! And the view to the left towards the lake and to the right towards the compensatory pond makes you crave for more. The municipality of Möhnesee is located to a large extent in the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park, whose diverse nature is not only worth seeing but also worth protecting. The tour leads directly into the Hevearm and Hevesee nature reserve, home to many water birds and also a stopover and winter quarters for up to 10,000 birds annually. Three nature balconies on the Heve peninsula offer a view of the landscape and its inhabitants. In addition, the information stations of the Water and Forest Nature Promenade provide information on the flora, fauna, and history of the region along the 3.6 km long shoreline path. Back towards the dam, we cross the Delecker Bridge. In Delecke, the public bathing area with a sunbathing lawn invites you to cool off. And for those still missing a photo opportunity at the dam, head down to the compensatory pond and see the impressive structure in all its glory from there. Along this route, we pass by the Landscape Information Center (LIZ) in Günne, where comprehensive information about the Möhnetalsperre and the Arnsberg Forest Nature Park is available. The tour can be made even more diverse by incorporating a ride on the MS Möhnesee (season Easter - Oct.), as on this bike tour we pass by the three catamaran docking stations. Bicycle transport is free. Along the route, there are various places to stop for refreshments.
