Bike Touring Highlight
The Bordenauer lake (also Bordenauer Kiesteich or Kieesteich Bordenau) is a former gravel pit in Neustadt am Rübenberge in the Hannover region. The Baggersee is located in the Leineniederung north of Bordenau, a district of Neustadt am Rübenberge. He was born during the construction of the B 6.
The lake is located in a conservation area and is mostly surrounded by trees. He is cared for by the fishing club Neustadt am Rübenberge and used as angling waters. In 2011, eel, perch, bream, pike, carp, roach, rudd, tench and zander were reported from the lake.
On the eastern shore is a lawn in a non-fenced area. This area is open to bathers. Even nude bathing is possible. Sanitary facilities are not available, a bathing supervision does not exist.

A very pretty lake, whether on foot, by bike or for swimming. Early in the morning it is pretty empty and you can enjoy many corners alone!

The largest lake in the northwest of Germany is at only 2.9 meters deep, probably one of the flattest. Most of the time, the water depth is less than 1.50 meters. Here you can practice all kinds of sports on and around the lake in addition to refreshing bathing. Hiking and cycling, climbing on lookout towers and exploring the area, experiencing species-rich moorland up close or prefer rowing, fishing, surfing or pedal boating on the water. Possibilities without end.

The water quality is checked regularly.

In the middle of the city and yet the perfect recreation area. The Maschsee is ideal for swimming, water sports or a leisurely stroll, cycling, inline skating or running. The man-made 80-acre body of water and its long, beautiful boardwalk attract visitors from all over. You can also rent pedal or rowing boats here or learn to sail right away. On the southern shore of the Maschsee you will also find a lido for swimming. There is a lot to do here. One day isn't enough.

Bike Touring Highlight
The seven-meter pond is textile-free, the triangular pond with textile. Usually the water quality is excellent, in 2018 it was not so good due to blue-green algae. In good weather, an ice cream truck comes by every day, at Dreiecksteich there is also a fixed kiosk. The sanitation in the form of Dixi-Klos is not famous. But for that, the access to the natural lakes is free, and the garbage cans are also emptied regularly.
