What to expect
The Steinhuder Meer is the largest lake in Lower Saxony, Germany, and a popular destination for families. It offers a variety of recreational activities, such as swimming, boating, and fishing. The lake is surrounded by several towns and villages, including Steinhude, Mardorf, and Hagenburg. The Steinhuder Meer is also home to several islands, including Wilhelmstein and Badeinsel Steinhude. With its shallow waters and muddy bottom, the lake is a unique ecosystem that supports a wide range of plant and animal life. The lake's water level is regulated by a weir, and its depth varies from 1.35 meters on average to a maximum of 2.9 meters. The Steinhuder Meer is a great place to visit with family and friends, offering a mix of natural beauty, recreational activities, and cultural attractions

With the Dalai Lama on the bathing island (in Steinhude, Germany)
Schaumburg Forest: The Secret of the Pyramid at Baum Castle
Not for the faint of heart (at Lake Steinhude, Germany)
Activities: We went Tretbootfahren, which means pedal boating, on the lake. We also enjoyed a bit of schippering around. 'Schipperten in der trüben Brühe ein bisschen hierhin, ein bisschen dorthin' (We sailed a little here and a little there). We also tried to find the right entrance
Highlights: The kids wanted to sit at the steering wheel. We all enjoyed the fresh air and the challenge of pedaling! We had to 'give it some gas' to make it back in time ✨
Steinhuder Meer: Excursion destination moor in Mardorf and Winzlar
Activities: We started our walk from the eastern side of the Steinhuder Meer. We saw white sailboats on the water. The path around the lake is popular for cycling, but we walked on the main path. The views from the observation towers were fantastic. We walked through the young deciduous forest
Highlights: The wide open blue lake and the nature around the lake was great. The kids were amazed by the white sailboats, and cows grazing in the pasture. We saw the Seerosenteich that had formed in a sand pit, it was a highlight ✨
Hiking in Schaumburg: Tours around Bad Nenndorf
Activities: We walked in the Meerbruchwiesen from Winzlar. We went along a road. We saw observation huts and watched many migratory birds. We ended our walk at a wooden pier that goes over the water
Highlights: The kids really liked seeing the birds from the observation huts. It was nice to be able to feel like we were in the Danube Delta on the wooden pier ✨
