Selm: Bork Lake Leisure Area, Former Selm-Beifang Colliery, and the Muensterland Edge Town North of Luenen
Selm has about 27,500 residents and lies in the Unna district of Nordrhein-Westfalen, on the transition between the Muensterland and the Ruhr area. The Ternscher See near Bork, a former gravel pit, serves as a bathing lake. Hard coal mining at the Hermann colliery shaped the town in the 20th century. Selm-Bork hosts a Wasserschloss (moated castle) now used for cultural events.
Luenen is about 10 kilometres south. Werne lies directly to the east. Dortmund is roughly 20 kilometres south. Olfen is to the north. The Lippe river passes nearby. The flat terrain marks the southern edge of the Muensterland plain before it gives way to the Ruhr district's denser urban fabric.
