The Hitdorfer See is an excavated lake in Leverkusen. It was designed by the city as a local recreation area a few years ago. With a size of 9.91 hectares, a length of 473 meters and a width of 273 meters, it is a rather small lake. The maximum depth is 18 m. The water is clean and clear. At the lake you will find a sandy beach as well as a diving center and a beer garden.

Stöckenberg Lake

Highlight • Lake

Stöckenbergsee is a former gravel pit and is located in the Hitdorf district in the west of Leverkusen. In the southeast area there is a large sandy beach, otherwise the water is surrounded by trees. Narrow, forested dams separate the lake from the neighboring gravel pits Hitdorfer See and Waldsee.

The Stöckenbergsee is managed by the sport fishing club Bayer Leverkusen. Fishing is reserved for club members. The fishing season is all year round. Night fishing is permitted. The protected areas and the area of the Rheindorf fishing club may not be fished!

With my four-legged sniffer, the time passed far too quickly today, and it was great, as were the subsequent laps in the electric kart 🏁 on the Battlekart track in Cologne – something completely different with a high fun factor 👌🏻

There are great hikes and today. That was probably nothing. Lots of asphalt and boring, hence so few pictures.
The Hitdorfer lake was nice, nothing more.
The only part I really liked was around the Stöckenbergsee, especially the last part (from km8.64), very rustic and right on the water.

Hi everyone, it's an easy route that you can hike. It goes through a lot of fields, and every now and then you get a glimpse of the lake district. Keep your head out and just walk. 🥾😜 For train enthusiasts, there's a section along the railway tracks. ❗

Yesterday on our hike, we actually discovered a lake where swimming is permitted.

A rarity and very beautiful to see.

There's a small beer garden right on the beach, offering snacks and drinks.
You can relax comfortably on the loungers provided and enjoy the holiday feeling.

Thanks, Heidrun!

@Krabbe had called for a circular hike around the Hitdorf lakes. Fifteen hikers, both men and women, followed, enjoying the nature and seeing familiar faces again.
It was a beautiful day, ending with a delightful meal and drink.
