View of Wetter (Ruhr) and Lake Harkortsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

One should not confuse the Harkortsee with the Stallion Lake here ... The first one
in the weather and the Harkortturm the other at Hagen with the Hohensyburg view.
Both lakes but only a "stone's throw" away from each other.

Herdecke Old Town

Highlight • Historical Site

The small old town of Herdecke is quite idyllic and inviting. There are a few nice locations and strolling between the half-timbered houses offers some highlights such as the fountains and old mill wheels.
