Lakes around Boffzen are not prominent, as the municipality is primarily defined by its location along the Weser River in the Weserbergland region. This area features picturesque scenery with green forests and rolling hills. While natural lakes are not a direct feature of Boffzen, the broader vicinity offers several water-based recreational opportunities. The Weser River itself provides a central point for outdoor activities such as cycling and canoeing.

Some lakes are managed by the fishing club, some are privately owned – but most are being developed for tourism. ..." https://godelheim.de/verzeichnis/freizeitanlage-hoexter-godelheim/

The Godelheimer See is relatively large and has several smaller neighboring lakes/ponds. It's easy to hike or cycle between these lakes. There are campsites and a well-developed recreational and leisure area for young and old. It always seems to be busy in the summer months. A trip here is always worth it. The Weser cycle path leads directly past Lake Godelheim and the leisure facility and is embedded in the middle of the beautiful Weserbergland. Höxter can be reached in just a few minutes.

The Carolinenteich in the Reiherbachtal is a Romanesque place. The pond can be completely circumnavigated and several benches invite you to take a break.

The port is the "heart and center of the city" - the baroque port with lock directly in the historic old town of Bad Karlshafen! In 2019, the historic harbor was reopened for shipping and can be navigated from the Weser via a new lock. This reconnection was funded with 5.5 million euros by the Federal Republic of Germany as a "national urban development project". As a water tourism highlight, the harbor is available for smaller yachts, sports boats and canoes. Let yourself be smuggled into the historic harbor basin of Bad Karlshafen from the Weser and enjoy the Mediterranean flair of the city center from the water. The port is usable for boats with a maximum length of up to 12 meters and a maximum width of 6 meters and a draft of maximum 80 cm; Total vehicle height including draft at water level 95.16 m above sea level. NN in the tailwater of the lock 5.2 m.

Definitely worth a trip. Pack your swimming gear and picnic basket and go. Don't forget sun protection, as the few trees are quickly occupied. Be careful, lots of wasps at the end of summer!
