A wonderfully large lake with a beautifully landscaped park, plenty of resting places, and all kinds of waterfowl. I even saw nutrias. A top destination in Warendorf!

In the future, the Ems will provide energy in Warendorf. With the help of heat pumps, the river water will supply the city with heat.

A wooden bridge over the Ems. Divided in the direction of travel by a railing. But no real indication of THE reason?!

If you park at the large, free Lohwall car park, it is the perfect crossing over the Ems into the city centre.

February 26, 2024, Ems Weir Warendorf

Between 1940 and 1960 the body of water was expanded and straightened in various sections. In the middle of Warendorf, the gradient of the Ems is influenced by a large weir. From this weir a distinction is made between the Ems above Warendorf and the Ems below Warendorf.
