The landscape is very beautiful, but unfortunately you can't see the lake at all for 80-90% of the way. There is usually 10-20m of dense bushes between the path and the water.

A beautiful lake located in the forest. You can also go hiking here.

Well the lake actually is very beautiful: clear water and ducks and geese on it. However, due to the nature conservation area, which is fenced off with barbed wire, you can't really get to the water in many places; you often only see forest. The places where you can get to the water are not really nicely designed and there are only a few places to sit or retreat. It was still kind of nice but not really recommended. There is a lot of rubbish and old clothing lying around which spoils the whole picture a bit. Much more could have been done with this body of water (see six lakes) but unfortunately this potential was not used. A pity. All around, however, is a beautiful forest where you can take a walk. The pollution here isn't that bad either. However, there is also very limited seating or shelter options here. Here too, a little money could have achieved a lot. But in the forest you have peace and quiet and it's easy to park.

Nice opportunity for a walk around the lake, but unfortunately there is no restaurant directly attached. But beer gardens can be reached in just a few minutes by car.

Nice area for hiking or walking. Also suitable for dog walks. A walk around the entire lake takes approximately 90 minutes. We found it very pleasant that there are no restaurants or similar directly on the lake. Nature is exceptionally in the foreground here. There are some places where you can get directly to the water. Fishing is possible with permission.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful lake with many places to take a break and enjoy the view. Unfortunately a bit outside of Bottrop and a little hard to find. (Original) Wunderschöner See mit vielen Stellen um eine Pause zu machen und die Aussicht zu genießen. Leider etwas außerhalb von Bottrop und etwas schwer zu finden.

Beautiful lake, not overcrowded, a bit remote near the Grafenmühle excursion destination! Unfortunately not enough benches, but there is a sandy beach where you can sit on a tree trunk and enjoy the sun! Located in a large forest area, you could walk for hours or just get lost. This has happened to me too!

Positive: Free parking nearby. The path around the lake is sufficiently paved. It is also suitable for cycling. The path is clean. There are a few benches. The lake is in a forest. It offers a beautiful sight. There are various water birds there. The distance around the lake is approx. 3 km. You can go for a walk there.

Very beautiful and large lake with a forest area. Good paths and many bays invite you to linger. However, swimming is prohibited in the nature reserve. Many walkers with or without dogs, joggers, cyclists and children can enjoy nature here. Benches right by the water and trash cans are available. Large parking lot.

Despite prohibition signs, many dog ​​owners let their dogs swim in the lake. Unfortunately, not all visitors to the lake take their garbage with them. It's a shame, the lake could be much more beautiful without these disturbances.

Pure nature 🙂 right on the doorstep 🌞🌞🌞

Very beautiful forest and lake. Ideal for walking, running or cycling. Easy to reach from the big city.

It's a wonderful place to go for a walk, where you can enjoy nature and then stop off in Grafenmühle.

(Translated by Google) Former quarry lake that was beautifully "renatured". In the meantime, many waterfowl have settled there, which among other things find ideal breeding grounds on the two islands. Depending on the season, migratory birds can also be found in transit. Overall, a nice location for a small round around the lake or even extensive tours through the surrounding forests to the Rotbach ... Always go back! Gerne (Original) Ehemaliger Baggersee der schön "renaturiert" wurde. Inzwischen haben sich dort viele Wasservögel angesiedelt, die u.a. auf den beiden Inseln ideale Brutplätze finden.

Insgesamt eine schöne Location für eine kleine Runde um den See oder auch ausgedehnte Touren durch die umliegenden Wälder bis hin zum Rotbach... Gehe immer wieder gerne hin!👍😊

(Translated by Google) Abschlapp- and kacking route for dogs from Bottrop, Oberhausen and the surrounding area! From the parking lot on the 'Alten Postweg', most of the dogs are empty after around 200 m and the lakeshore is reached. Then you have the choice: to the left or to the right, in both cases you add 2.6 km. The lake and the surrounding area is a nature reserve! Therefore everything that is fun is forbidden, especially bathing! There are paper bins that are seldom emptied! The morning hours after a cool night develop a special charm when the first rays of sunshine dissolve fog! (Original) Abschlapp- und Abkackstrecke für Hunde aus Bottrop, Oberhausen und Umgebung! Vom Parkplatz am 'Alten Postweg' aus sind nach rund 200 m die meisten Hunde leer und das Seeufer ist erreicht. Dann hat man die Wahl: links oder rechts herum, in beiden Fällen kommen 2,6 km zusammen. Der See und die Umgebung ist ein Naturschutzgebiet! Deswegen ist alles verboten was Spaß macht, besonders das Baden! Es sind Papierkörbe aufgestellt, die selten geleert werden! Einen besonderen Reiz entfalten die Morgenstunden nach einer kühlen Nacht, wenn Nebelschwaden von den ersten Sonnenstrahlen aufgelöst werden!
