    Lake Steinhude is the heart of the nature park of the same name. The approximately 30-square-kilometer lake is the largest inland body of water in northwest Germany, surrounded by an attractive landscape. The region has been protected as a nature park since 1974. Conservation measures include improving the living conditions for wading and waterfowl, as well as creating breeding and resting grounds for migratory birds.

    The mix of forest and water makes Lake Steinhude a popular recreational area. You'll find numerous beautiful swimming spots, can watch the many boats on the water, and explore the well-maintained hiking trails.

      Lake Steinhude is the largest lake in northwest Germany and is located about 30 kilometers northwest of Hanover. It covers an area of approximately 29.1 square kilometers and is part of the Steinhuder Meer Nature Park. With a maximum depth of 2.9 meters, the lake is relatively shallow, making it ideal for various recreational activities such as sailing, windsurfing, and swimming.

      The area around the lake is a paradise for nature lovers, offering scenic hiking and biking trails, birdwatching opportunities, and even the chance to visit the historic Wilhelmstein Island, originally built as a fortress in the 18th century. The charming towns of Steinhude and Mardorf on the shores add to the appeal with local cuisine, cultural events, and scenic views.
