The Lenne is a river system in North Rhine-Westphalia that joins the Ruhr as its right tributary. It flows through valleys with varying landscapes and sits at approximately 98 meters above sea level where it meets the Ruhr.
For many centuries, the river has supported the regions along its banks and was the foundation for farming and small industries. The waterway shaped how settlements grew and how people used the valleys economically.
The river shapes the valleys it passes through, creating spaces where people today enjoy walking and spending time. Along its banks, small settlements have grown where life was long tied to the rhythm of the water.
The riverbanks are accessible via well-developed walking and cycling routes that connect various points along its course and offer easy access. These paths pass fishing spots and nature observation areas where visitors find peaceful spaces and open views of the landscape.
The river connects with several smaller streams and tributaries, forming a network that feeds and supports different animal species in the region. This interconnected system creates distinct habitats that hold special importance for local wildlife.
