Enjoy a walk through the winter landscape at the Hennesee. The approx. 8 km long hiking trail along the eastern shore of the Hennesee is popular with walkers. The path is considered a "forest path" and is therefore not cleared of snow in winter. In snow and ice, you should only walk with suitable footwear.

Information

Directions

From the parking lot next to the Ruhrverband (road: Am Hennesee), we walk past the tennis courts and then down to the Hennedamm. We cross the dam - with a stop at the Himmelstreppe, of course - and then turn right onto the lakeside path. This is car-free and a popular walking route. From here, we follow the lakeside path and reach the camping park on the southern shore of the Hennesee after approx. 7 km.

Equipment

Winter-proof footwear, hiking poles if necessary (spikes if there is ice) and clothing suitable for the weather are recommended.

Author Tip

The platform on the Himmelstreppe (in the middle of the Hennedamm) offers wonderful views over the town of Meschede. Ideal for a photo stop.
