    Mountain biking

    The Hammerteich was created in 1722 by damming the Borbach (then Borbecke) stream. Today, it is a popular recreational area in Witten.

    The Hammerteich pond is a beautiful spot for a picnic any time of year. There's a lovely playground for children, and you can watch herons, cormorants, and ducks.

    Currently, it's an interesting place because the city of Witten is removing the pond's heavy siltation. First, all the fish were removed and relocated to other bodies of water. Now, the pond is being pumped out.
