The most beautiful lakes can be found in the Sauerland
The Sauerland lakes are recreational paradises, energy suppliers and vital drinking water reservoirs for millions of people. So welcome to a particularly clean thing. All the large Sauerland lakes are not of natural origin, but are so-called reservoirs. Huge dams or barrages hold back the water of the rivers, dam it up and thus form the lakes.
Our Funkenhof estate is centrally located in the middle of four of the most famous reservoirs.
Lake Sorpoesee
Lake Sorpe in Sundern is approx. 12 km from the hotel. The promenade in Sundern – Langscheid and the air adventure trail in Sundern – Amecke bring a Mediterranean flair to the Sauerland.
Our excursion tip:
Take the MS Sorpesee from Sundern – Langscheid to Sundern – Amecke. There you can walk along the Amecke air adventure trail. (approx. 3 km or 1 h) In the Airnah Café at the campsite you can enjoy delicious home-baked cakes and a great view of the lake. Afterwards, take the MS Sorpesee back to Langscheid and enjoy a cool drink on the promenade.

Hennesee
The Hennesee in Meschede is the smallest of our four Sauerland reservoirs. Things are always a little more leisurely here. A walk along the water is just as worthwhile as climbing the 333 steps of the stairway to heaven at the dam. In warm weather, it’s also worth making a detour to the lido and the terrace of the “H1 am See” with a view of the Hennesee is a real treat.

Möhnesee
The Möhnesee lake north of Arnsberg is approx. 25 km from the hotel. It is also known as the “Westphalian Sea” and is the largest of all the reservoirs in the Sauerland in terms of surface area.
The dam, which was built in 1913 and was severely damaged by a British air raid on the night of May 16, 1943, is very attractive from a historical point of view. The dam was rebuilt in the same year and the reservoir was put into operation.

Biggesee
The Biggesee with its dam in Attendorn is located approx. 40 km south of the hotel. The lake meanders through the valleys as far as Olpe.
It is worth making a detour to the “Biggeblick” viewpoint (photo) with a breathtaking view over the Biggesee. Afterwards, you can take the little “Biggolino” train from the Atta cave in Attendorn to the Biggedamm landing stage and on to the old market in Attendorn.
