レーデンの湖・トップ20

One of several towers around the lake. Also a good view from up here.

This is (perhaps) the main town in Dümmer. Accordingly, it can be a bit crowded here.

Anyone who "climbs" the Dümmer East Tower is often rewarded during the winter months with the sight of large groups of migrating and wintering waterfowl, which prefer to stay on the east side of the lake at that time. In summer, great crested grebes and lovely expanses; in winter, thousands of ducks and geese. During migration, the birds then meet on the east side of Lake Dümmer. In summer, great crested grebes and lovely expanses; in winter, thousands of ducks and geese. During migration, the birds then meet on the east side of Lake Dümmer. From the East Tower, almost the entire surface of Lake Dümmer can be seen. The eastern shore of the lake, which is clearly visible from the tower, is particularly popular with waterfowl during the winter months: Thousands of northern ducks and geese then meet here when they use the lake as a resting place during migration or to overwinter. The Dümmer is known for these large winter gatherings of waterfowl. It's no coincidence that the lake is considered a resting area of international importance – up to 70,000 birds have been recorded resting here at any one time. Large groups of shovellers, common drakes, wigeons, and cormorants can be found foraging on the lake, especially during migration and in winter. Thousands of mallards rest on the water, and geese fly in in the evening to spend the night on the lake. The East Tower is located in the immediate vicinity of the extensive reed beds and sedge meadows of the "Hohe Sieben" nature reserve. Such marsh meadows were widespread in the lowlands even before the Dümmer was dammed. A row of posts in the water reduces wave action in the shore area of the nature reserve and promotes reed growth in the shallow water. Cormorants like to dry their wings here, and various species of gulls can also be found here. Overall, the Dümmer, with its surrounding meadows and pastures, is one of the most important habitats for animal and plant species in Lower Saxony. Bird species that have long since disappeared elsewhere still find suitable habitats here. It is no coincidence that the area is part of the Europe-wide Natura 2000 protected area network. https://www.geolife.de/inhaltsverzeichnis/details/poi-2000022-8000-Beobachtungsturm_am_Ostufer_des_Duemmers.html

A very nice view of the lake

Next door there are good fish sandwiches and a charging station

Fine panoramic view of Lake Dümmer, from some observation towers with different perspectives.

In this section there are several beautiful stretches of beach and a few bars to quench your thirst.

There are even beaches with a Caribbean flair here.
