Lakes & Rivers
==================

Beautiful landscapes

 

Water Shapes the Landscape

Cycle along the Lippe, take a break by the lake or follow a river through the countryside: the Paderborner Land offers many opportunities to get close to the water. The Pader Springs in the heart of Paderborn, the Lippe and its floodplains, Lippesee and numerous other bodies of water shape a wide variety of landscapes.

Cycling and hiking trails along the rivers and lakes lead through meadows, forests and nature reserves. Along the water, there are resting areas and paths for walks. Depending on the body of water, activities such as canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding are also possible.
