Unfortunately, barbecuing at the swimming lake is not allowed. There is no barbecue area. The lake is located in a protected area. And due to the adjacent forest, the risk of forest fires is extremely high. The barbecue ban is also enforced. The sanitary facilities can be used free of charge, but only during the bathing season from 01.06. to 30.08. and on event days. The use of the swimming lake is free and there are many new highlights on the premises. Sky loungers, a beautiful playground, a shelter, and a stargazing spot.

A charming little town with several ice cream parlors and cafes, and a large church square. Ideal for a break with a view. The Rahden railway depot also invites visitors to a museum tour.

The stork's nest can of course be seen in Diepenau!👍😊 And NOT "in the Teutoburg Forest" (what hair-raising nonsense!🙈🥲).
