Witten · Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
The dog park at Lake Kemnade in Witten-Herbede offers a spacious area where dogs can run freely. It is open 24 hours a day, fenced in, and has parking. There is good access to the water, which is suitable for shy dogs. The field is often muddy, especially in winter. Some visitors complain about the lack of trash cans for disposing of dog waste bags. Overall, the field is popular with dog owners because it offers plenty of space for dogs to play and run around.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, leashes are required in pedestrian zones, fenced parks with playgrounds, at events and in public buildings, among other places. Dogs classed as dangerous must be leashed outside your own property; large dogs (from 40 cm at the withers or 20 kg) must be leashed in built-up areas on streets, paths and squares. In forests your dog may only run free on paths; off the paths a leash is required, and nature reserves often have stricter rules. The state recommends leashing dogs from 1 March to 31 July to protect young animals and ground-nesting birds. Cities and municipalities may have additional rules, so follow the signs.
This is a simplified overview, not legal advice. For binding rules in 2026 where you live and walk your dog, contact your local authority (e.g. municipal public order office).
