Grummer Teiche, Recreational ponds in Bochum, Germany.
Grummer Teiche is a network of connected ponds in Bochum surrounded by walking paths that circle each body of water. The different lakes and smaller ponds are fed by streams and vary in size and appearance.
The ponds were created in the early 1900s as part of a water management plan to prevent flooding in the Bochum area. This system remains an important part of how water is managed in the region today.
The place serves as a gathering spot where locals and visitors spend time outdoors watching birds and other wildlife. You will find people walking, jogging, and sitting by the water throughout the day.
A 4-kilometer walking route circles the ponds and can be accessed from several points. A parking area is available for visitors, and the paths are easy to navigate with only minor elevation changes.
The name comes from the stream that feeds the water system and flows through the area. Individual ponds carry their own names and together form this recognized water landscape.
