    Playground at the fish ponds

    A two-kilometer circular trail through the forest and around the fish ponds, illuminated in the evening.

    The forest sports trail, which is very popular with Paderborn residents, leads through a wooded area on the banks of the fish ponds. The path is signposted every 100 meters with the distance covered and has two large illuminated clocks.

    The Paderborn fish ponds, like all Paderborn lakes, are artificially created and are fed by an artesian well: a pipeline goes about 100 meters underground. The water seeps to the surface from the limestone at this depth without the need for pumps, flows through a pipeline into the first fish pond and from there into the deeper ponds.

    The six ponds surrounded by forest form the core of the popular fish ponds recreation area. There is a playground, a climbing park, rowing boat hire, a mini-golf course and a restaurant on the forest sports trail.

    The forest sports trail starts at the wooden gate labeled "Waldsportpfad" opposite the playground. Follow the circular route, which is marked with distance signs every 100 meters.

    Take the A 33 freeway to the Pad.-Zentrum exit; then head towards Paderborn city center. Follow Bahnhofstraße until shortly before the main station, then turn left into Rathenaustraße. At the end of Rathenaustraße, follow Neuhäuser Straße for 350 meters to the right until the next set of traffic lights. Turn left into Fürstenweg. After just under one kilometer - at the junction with Fürstenallee and Ferrariweg - this becomes Dubelohstraße. From the crossroads, continue for another kilometer, then turn right to the Fischteiche parking lot.

    Parking for cars is available in the parking lot at the fish ponds (navigation address: Dubelohstr. 92, 33102 Paderborn). There are usually enough parking spaces there.

    Take the city bus lines 9 or 14 (PaderSprinter) to the "Padersee" stop. Then walk a good 500 meters along the path  "An den Fischteichen" to the start of the running path. 
    Detailed information on how to get there by city bus is available at www.padersprinter.de or by phone on 05251 6997222.
