A lake with character
The Gabelweiher, although not an officially designated bathing lake, is of great importance as a centrally located body of water in Espelkamp. It serves as a green lung for the town's residents and invites you to go for walks, jogs and relaxing hours in nature.
Environment to linger
The banks of the Gabelweiher are surrounded by inviting lawns and small woods. These not only invite you to enjoy a cozy picnic, but also offer space for sunbathing and enjoying nature. The water feature on the lake is particularly popular, creating a relaxed and invigorating atmosphere.
Alternative swimming option: Kleihügelsee
If you fancy a dip in the cool water, you will find the Kleihügelsee just under two kilometers west of Espelkamp. While the Gabelweiher is particularly popular for relaxing on land, the Kleihügelsee offers a great opportunity for water sports and swimming.
Enjoy nature in the heart of the city
The Gabelweiher is a popular local recreation area that offers the perfect balance between urban life and relaxation close to nature. Whether for a short walk, a sporty round or a quiet afternoon - everyone will find their own personal retreat here.
