Haltern am See

Haltern am See sits beside the Lippe River in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, where the wooded Münsterland meets the waters of the Halterner Stausee reservoir. The town’s lakes and surrounding forests make it a popular local setting for walking, cycling and waterside recreation. Haltern also holds an important place in Roman archaeology: the LWL Roman Museum examines the Roman military presence on the Lippe frontier, including the nearby site of a legionary camp. Its mix of reservoir shore, woodland and archaeological heritage gives the town a character distinct from the Ruhr’s larger industrial cities.
