This artificial lake in the city was build in two sections in the last century. In 1934 the old Aasee lake was as big as the promenade to the Tormin bridge. In 1976 the Aasee was expanded and the new part of the Aasee led from the Tormin bridge to the small bridge Canisiusweg. Water birds found here their brooding or fishes their spawn area. It is also a pleasure to observe the cormorants or the gray herons of the surrounding trails at the Aasee. Even the canteen of the University is located at the Aasee. The canteen is run by the Studentenwerk Munster, hence the above addressing. A place of recreation in the middle of the city!
