Lake Baldeney and the Ruhr at Essen
 






The lake Baldeney is situated between Essen Heisingen and Kupferdreh and has got a lenght about six miles and a breadth up to half a mile.

There are woods and the park of the "Villa Huegel" (Villa hill) in the north. The lake is a pleasure for tourists and especially sportsmen.
You can see here some very seldom photos from the year 1084 of the frozen lake. But don´t fear, such events we can only find every twenty years.
