Aasee
A city lake southwest of the old town, where locals walk, cycle, and go boating along the lakeside path and lawns.
The lake is about 2.3 kilometers long, and a loop around it is about 6 kilometers. You can walk or cycle around it, or rent sailboats and pedal boats. In summer, a water shuttle (Solaraal) runs back and forth. On the north shore lawn stands the sculpture Giant Pool Balls, left over from the 1977 Münster Sculpture Projects. It is a popular photo spot. On the southwest side of the lake are the all-weather zoo, the natural history museum, and the Mühlenhof Open-Air Museum.
