Facts and practical information

Seepark Lünen is a park landscape in the Lünen district of Horstmar. A large area is occupied by the nine-hectare Horstmar Lake.

The park was created as part of the State Garden Show in 1996 on a former mining area of the Preußen colliery. The grounds of Seepark Lünen are located directly on the Datteln-Hamm Canal. On the other side of the canal is Schwansbell Castle. The park has an area of 63 hectares.

The center of the park is Lake Horstmar with a water surface of nine hectares. The southern part of the lake is designated as a nature reserve, while the northern shore serves as a lido. In addition, a natural amphitheater with grass steps was created in the so-called Horstmarer Loch, a depression caused by mining. Together with the Prussian dump, this shows the ups and downs of the landscape changed by mining.

In October 2007, the first disc golf course in North Rhine-Westphalia was inaugurated in a part of the lake park and has since enriched the leisure offer.

The Lünen lake park and the Prussia slag heap are part of the Route of Industrial Heritage. From October 1, 2020, swimming in the lake will be allowed again.
