To the north of the dam, the larger part of De Wittsee offers opportunities for swimming, sailing and canoeing. The smaller lake in the south, on the other hand, is protected because numerous water birds breed here in spring.

From the nature park center at the Krickenbecker Lakes, the blue marked route takes you around the Nettetal Lake District in a good 10 km.

Through forests, along fields, meadows and swamps, it goes in the direction of the picturesque De Wittsee. At the beautiful bridge on the water lily pond you feel like you are in a painting by …

You can perfectly explore the Krickenbecker Lakes nature reserve by bike or on foot. Large bodies of water from the former fens, extensive reed beds, wide wet meadows and marsh forests form a varied mosaic of different habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna.
It's a good idea to have binoculars with you so you can observe the …

The way back was supposed to go along the main road, so we took a detour to De Wittsee, where the sun even came out again 🥰

June 9, 2024,Leuther Mühlen-Pfad - Leichte.Wander.Welt.

With the "Leichte.Wander.Welt" project, ten easy, barrier-free hiking trails were created in the Schwalm-Nette Nature Park (in addition to the premium hiking trails under the "Wasser.Wander.Welt" label), true to the motto "Hiking for everyone".
This also means that the trails must have a minimum width, for example, and the proportion of asphalt is increasing.
I didn't really like the route …

September 15, 2024,Runde um die Krickenbecker Seen.

Hello everyone,

Today we took a short walk around the Krickenbecker lakes and stopped for coffee and cake just before the end.

About the tour:
The Krickenbecker lakes are four lakes in Nettetal on the left bank of the Lower Rhine in North Rhine-Westphalia that were created by peat extraction from fens.
