The Wolfssee belongs to the six lakes plate in Duisburg - Wedau . Like the other lakes, it is a quarry pond and lies in the middle of the lake district.
The entire recreation area is located in the Duisburg-Süd district . Its center has the geographic coordinates 51 ° 22.8 'north, 6 ° 47.8' east. The other five lakes are the Wambachsee, Masurensee, Böllertsee, Wildförstersee and Haubachsee. Together they have a water surface of almost 2 km², the recreation area measures 2.82 km² and has a network of 18 km of hiking trails. The area and the Wolfssee are best reached from the A3 , exit Duisburg-Wedau. All six lakes are relics of the mining of mass raw materials by the gravel dredging of Count von Spee in the 20th century. Only the Haubachsee was only fully dredged in 2001.
There are several designated beaches, of which the Wolfssee natural swimming pool is one of the largest. But you can also swim in many other places on the banks. The sandy beach of the Wolfssee-Bad is 450 meters long. In other places it is difficult to get to the water because of the steep embankments and the partial construction. Ducks and swans like to visit the water. There is a café-restaurant next to the outdoor pool , a barbecue area right on the shore (also on Lake Masuria) and a model boat harbor not far away. Between April and October, the “ Newfoundland Water Working Group NRW eV” trains with their dogs in the open-air pool on weekends .
Between Wolfs- and Haubachsee, the Wolfsberg was heaped up in 1967 from dismantling remains and the rubble of a shooting range and a former ammunition depot . Up until the summer of 2002, its summit was dominated by a wooden, 21 m high observation tower with impressive panoramic and distant views. When she fell victim to arson, a 23-meter-high steel tower was built on the same site and was inaugurated in March 2006. After the Kaiserberg, it is the highest publicly accessible point in Duisburg.
