View of Phoenix Lake

Highlight • Lake

The approximately 24-hectare lake, stretching 1.2 kilometers in length and about 320 meters in width, has become a small oasis for relaxation and sports.

It's hard to believe that at the turn of the millennium, this area wasn't a lake, not even an open space, but a fully operational steelworks of incredible size.

Hympendahl Viaduct Ruins

Highlight • Monument

And again, a place in the Ruhr area that you just have to see. The small detour is worthwhile.

Hörder Burgplatz at Phoenix Lake

Highlight • Settlement

Ambitious 'harbor' on a small artificial lake (Phoenix-See) in southern Dortmund created by excavating some of the toxic contaminated soils of a 200-year old former industrial site next to the historic location of the medieval Hoerde castle.

Covered Rest Area at the Marina

Highlight • Rest Area

Very nice place to have a rest, the bench is covered so you don't get wet even when it rains. The view over the lake has a wonderfully calming effect.

Phoenix Lake in Dortmund

Highlight • Lake

Phoenix Lake in Dortmund is a man-made lake in the Hörde district, created on the former site of the Phoenix-Ost steelworks. After the steelworks was closed in 2001, the site was remediated and flooded in 2010 to create a new residential and recreational area. The lake covers approximately 24 hectares and is surrounded by a 3.2-kilometer circular path for pedestrians and cyclists. From the Kaiserberg dump to the east, there is a magnificent view of the recreational and new development area.
