The best swimming lakes in Lower Saxony

At Dümmer See you will not only experience beautiful nature, but also pure holiday feeling. You have three large sandy beaches to choose from for swimming, where you can lie relaxed in the sand and enjoy the summer. Relaxed beach bars ensure physical well-being and that extra portion of beach and holiday feeling. If you want to stay longer, you have various campsites to choose from where you can stay overnight.

If you drive around the Innerstetalsperre, you will always come to beautiful swimming areas and beaches, where you can take a break. On hot days you can refresh yourself while bathing in the cool water of the reservoir.

If you fancy a longer break at the dam and would like to try other water sports such as rowing, surfing or sailing, you can spend the night in the campsite by the lake.

The diverse fauna and flora at the "Pearl of the Ammerland" is absolutely remarkable. The five and a half square kilometer lake is home to water feathers, strushes, cattails, water lilies, kingfishers, gray herons, osprey and many other species. In addition to bathers, who romp around in the Dreibergen and Rostrup spa parks in particular, the Zwischenahner Meer is also a very popular destination for sailors and windsurfers.

Here you can jump into the water for free during your tour. By the way, bathing is permitted in almost all of the 60 ponds around Clausthal-Zellerfeld, unless it is expressly forbidden by signs.

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.

A beach over one and a half kilometers long awaits you at Salszgittersee. Here you can lie comfortably in the sand and let your gaze wander over the large lake or jump straight into the water and refresh yourself on hot summer days. In addition to swimming, you can also go sailing, canoeing, rowing and surfing on the lake. And if you want to strengthen yourself in between, you can stop in one of the restaurants on the lake.

Variant "Small Moorrunde":
The "Kleine Moorrunde" of the NABU hiking guide system with approx. 7.5 km, which leads across the Butterweg, is an ideal hiking alternative. "Dee Bodderpad" (Low German) was once the shortest connection between Kirchwalsede and Rotenburg (Wümme). Many moor farmers then used this arduous way to sell their home-made butter in Rotenburg.
