Green Lake

See
Discover the natural paradise of Grüner See in Ratingen – an idyllic place for relaxation, adventure and unforgettable moments.
The Green Lake is located in the Volkardey recreation park, which covers an area of ​​110 hectares. This landscape park offers a well-developed network of paths that are ideal for walks and bike rides. There is also a designated dog run in the southern part of the park.

Visitors to the Green Lake can enjoy a variety of leisure activities. The fitness trail invites you to improve your physical fitness. There are also beach volleyball and table tennis courts available. A football pitch allows you to play football in a natural environment. There are two playgrounds for children.

Water sports enthusiasts can join the Windsurfing Club Volkardey eV to use the lake for windsurfing. However, swimming in the Green Lake is not permitted as there may be specific dangers associated with a quarry lake, such as undercurrents and strong whirlpools.

The Green Lake is easily accessible by public transport, as there is a bus stop nearby. There are also plenty of parking spaces for those driving. Entry to the site is free, making the lake an ideal destination for families and groups.
