Linkturm (Möhnesee)

Linkturm on Möhnesee is a local wind-sport launch that’s primarily used for windsurfing, with wingfoiling also working well when the wind is in the right range. The reservoir wind is largely driven by weather-front/gradient patterns, and the spot is especially noted for its performance in south wind situations. For windsurfing, sources describe a freeride/freestyle setup where south winds can produce flat water in the lee and, further out, short steep waves or rolling chop. Launching involves a technical rocky entry area and the walk from the access point, but it stays popular because the best wind on the lake is repeatedly associated with the south-wind setup. Wingfoiling is supported by deep water close to shore (minimum depth referenced as around 2.0 meters), though riders should plan for the carry/walk of foil gear. Across both wind sports, the most consistent practical concern is safety at the launch: sharp stones, submerged rocks, and rocky beach areas make footwear necessary, and high-water events can also affect how the stony shoreline behaves. For planning, expect parking to be easier at the Delecke Bridge area than right at the launch, and be mindful that wind strength can be intermittent (especially in summer). Kitesurfing is prohibited on the reservoir, so the safer plan is to focus on windsurfing and wingfoiling only.
