Datteln-Hamm Canal

Highlight • River

Since 1914, the Datteln-Hamm Canal has connected the eastern Ruhr area with the cities of Hamm and Lünen to the West German canal network. From the branch from the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Datteln, it runs south of the Lippe and ends after 47 km at the height of the Hamm-Uentrop power plant. The originally planned continuation to Lippstadt was no longer pursued after the Second World War. Source: WSV. en

Church of the Sacred Heart, Lünen

Highlight • Religious Site

"The Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a neo-Gothic hall church with well-preserved choirmasters, built in 1903/1904 according to the plans of Paderborn cathedral master builder Arnold Güldenpfennig and located in the southern inner city area.
The church still has well preserved and worth seeing choir windows. The bells are the biggest in Lünen. There are four steel bells with a total weight of 6.835 kg. "Source: luenen.de/tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/sp_auto_283.php

Roman barge at the Lünen Lippe floodplain

Highlight • Monument

A narrow pat tight along the lip, left very natural and very rustic, especially in summer when everything around it is overgrown. It goes up and down, there are curves and surprises like the "Roman raft". The section isn't long, but it's sure to be lots of fun for kids and some good places to rest!

Horstmarer Lake Beach

Highlight • Beach

The Seepark is located on the site of the Lünen State Horticultural Show (“LaGaLü”), which took place here in 1996. It is about 60 hectares in size and partly covers mining areas of the former Prussia colliery and agricultural areas. The core of the park is the nine-hectare Horstmarer See artificially created for the garden show with its bathing beach to the north and east and a quiet and nature reserve to the west and south. In addition, there are wide meadows with perennial gardens as individual islands. The Preußenhalde rises to the south of the site. Together with the Horstmarer Loch, a deep sinkhole that is used for disc golf, it is practically the only relic that points to the original use of the area.
