Access

In the very east of Dortmund in eastern Ruhr region. The road west of the lake is called Pleckenbrink. No regular parking spaces, road closed for vehicles a few hundred meter north and south. You need to park a few hundred meters to the south or the north at the road side. But walking and cycling is possible. With public transport, use line 43 to station Wickede Post, then walk about 2 km on road Pleckenbrink to the north. There is no trail around the lake, but the road Pleckenbrink is close enough to give a good view from there.
