For example, the Dinosaur Open-Air Museum is located in Münchehagen, just a few kilometers from Rehburg-Loccum. In addition to life-size dinosaur replicas, the museum features an area with dinosaur tracks and many hands-on activities organized by the museum’s educational department. About 10 km south of Rehburg-Loccum in Wiedensahl stands the birthplace of Wilhelm Busch, and if you look closely, you’ll discover some of the locations where Max and Moritz played their pranks.

At Lake Steinhuder Meer itself, in the picturesque vacation towns of Steinhude, Mardorf, or Hagenburg, you can enjoy the famous Steinhude’s Sculpture Promenade smoked eel and even watch it being prepared at one of the many eel smokehouses. From Steinhude, take a trip on the fishermen’s traditional sailboats—known as “Auswanderer”—to the island fortress of Wilhelmstein. In case of bad weather, there are several interesting museums to choose from that are unique to the region, such as the Fishermen’s and Weavers’ Museum and the Toy and Children’s World Museum in Steinhude, as well as the Blacksmith Museum in Neustadt-Helstorf.

Lake Steinhuder Meer is just a short drive from Hannover. If you’d like to add a short getaway to your stay in Hannover, you’ll find a variety of small hotels, guesthouses, vacation rentals, and farm stays in the towns of Steinhude, Hagenburg, and Mardorf.

Lake Steinhuder Meer, the largest inland body of water in northwestern Germany, located in the Hannover region, is primarily known for its excellent water sports and vacation opportunities. However, what very few people know is that it also offers a fascinating and diverse cultural landscape, featuring true gems of art history that may be somewhat hidden away but are definitely worth seeking out.
