Lake Unterbach

The local spot of boot Düsseldorf






Watersports in Düsseldorf are only to be found at boot? Wrong! Just outside of the county capital, a water sports gem is waiting to be explored by boat or board. The local recreation area of Lake Unterbach between Düsseldorf, Erkrath and Hilden is, so to say, the local spot of boot Düsseldorf and offers many possibilities to spend a relaxed day or a weekend on or near the water.

Holiday feeling at Lake Unterbach

Embedded in a 15 km long network of walks and cycling paths, Lake Unterbach offers a perfect ambience for a real holiday feeling right on your doorstep. In two beautiful beach baths you can relax in the sun, the lake of more than 80 ha has been officially certified as having an excellent water quality. Floating lake terraces invite you to a cooling and fun bathing experience. Enjoy the wonderful view on the harbour terrace with restaurant and promenade at the north side of the lake.

Watersports & leisure activities

At the heart of Lake Unterbach's watersports activities is the sailing centre with its marina. The DSV-approved sailing school is a member of the Association of German Sport Boat Schools (VDS) and offers sailing courses at various levels from basic sailing courses to official leisure boating licences. Both experienced sailors and beginners have the opportunity to enjoy their favourite pastime activity on the lake.

In addition to the seasonal berths for sailboats, the marina offers a slipway and a boat crane with a load capacity of up to 1,000 kg. If you don't have your own boat, you can rent sailing dinghies in various sizes as well as pedal boats and rowing boats in the adjacent boat rental. Alternatively, the lake can be explored on your stand up paddling board, starting either from beach or from the marina. Some houseboats are now also available for rent for overnight stays on the water.

Further variety is provided by the wide range of leisure activities on land. If you'd rather swing your "golf club", you can make your first attempts on the Unterbach minigolf course. Or would you like to go on a lake cruise with the party raft? Would you like to venture into the high ropes course? The large playground is waiting for children, and barbecue areas are available for self-catering. Look forward to a varied watersports and leisure experience at Lake Unterbach!
