Unterbacher lake

See
Pool
water sports facility
The Unterbacher See, a local recreation area located on the city border with Düsseldorf, offers a wide range of sports and leisure activities for young and old.
Look forward to a 15-kilometer-long network of hiking and cycling trails, a high ropes course, playgrounds and barbecue areas, as well as the harbor terrace with restaurant in the north and the beach café with floating lake terrace on the south bank. Two lidos with a total of 500 meters of beach and light sandy beach provide the desired cooling off in summer. Sports enthusiasts enjoy the idyllic landscape while sailing or surfing. Sailing boats, pedal boats and rowing boats are available locally. If you want to enjoy this beautiful spot of nature for even longer, you will find a well-equipped campsite on the north and south banks.
