Renatured stream in Ferkensbruch

Highlight • River

In order to get the flooding under control, the course of the Nette is being lengthened in a snake-like manner. In addition, new animal and bird species are finding their home in this area.

The Nette Lakes are part of the Schwalm-Nette Nature Park on the Lower Rhine, near the Dutch border. You are in the town of Nettetal in the district of Viersen. They got their name from the river Nette, in the valley of which these artificially dammed lakes are located, some of which have been enlarged by peat extraction.

The following should be mentioned in detail: the "Kleine Breyeller See" (water area: 5.3 hectares), the "Große Breyeller See" (9.2 ha), the "Nettebruch" (13.2 ha), the "Windmühlenbruch" ( 6 ha), the "Ferkensbruch" (4.5 ha), the "Kleine De-Witt-See" (4.5 ha) and the "Große De-Witt-See" (22.5 ha). Further downstream, after the passage of the "Secretis" swamp, are the Krickenbecker Seen.

Water View 11 De Wittsee

Highlight • Lake

Another attraction is the small vantage point at de Witt See, which is equipped with two benches and invites you to linger.
August 2021: The artist Jonas Lienen has designed a remarkable bench against exclusion, on which we sit and enjoy the view of the small De Wittsee.
