Baldeneysee, Lake in Essen, Germany.
Baldeneysee stretches across 2.7 square kilometers in the southern part of Essen, featuring wooded shores and numerous water activities throughout the year.
Created in 1931 as a water reservoir to purify the Ruhr water, Baldeneysee has transformed from an industrial necessity into a recreational destination.
The lake hosts the Essen Week, which brings together German sailors for competitions in what has become the largest inland lake regatta in Germany.
A 14.7-kilometer loop surrounds the lake, enabling visitors to explore the area by bicycle, inline skates, or on foot from April through October.
The MS Innogy, operating from June to September, stands out as a methanol-powered electric ship offering tours across the waters of Baldeneysee.
