Countless leisure activities await you around the Hennesee: relax on a boat trip on the MS Hennesee, sunbathe at the bathing bays or experience nature on a walk along the shore or on the Wogenweg. Enjoy the silence in the morning on a fishing trip or feel the refreshing wind on your skin during a sailing trip. Visitors can discover that the forest is full of undiscovered surprises on the SinnePfad at the Hennesee. The new
"Pirate Bay" adventure playground in Berghauser Bucht is the highlight of an excursion with children on the Hennesee.
If
that's not enough, you can climb the 333 steps of the Himmelstreppe. This takes you up the Hennedamm and back down again. Enjoy the wonderful views from the panoramic balconies or take a leisurely stroll along the HenneBoulevard.
During the summer months, you have the opportunity to discover the inside of the dam: guided tours of the dam are offered regularly. For more information, please contact the Meschede Tourist Information Office (Tel. 0291-9022443).
