Lanstroper See, Natural reserve in Dortmund, Germany.
The Lanstroper See spans 74.2 hectares with a lake reaching depths of 5 meters, surrounded by reeds, rushes, and a forest strip.
The lake formed in 1963 due to mining subsidence that reached groundwater levels, leading to permanent flooding of the area.
A nature trail with information boards and observation platform allows visitors to learn about local flora and fauna throughout the seasons.
Public transportation access includes taking the U42 line to Grevel station followed by bus 423 to Lanstrop Cemetery.
The Lanstroper See hosts Dortmund's documented population of grass snakes and serves as a breeding ground for cormorants and great crested grebes.
