Lake Steinhude

Are you interested in historic and modern architecture, do you enjoy experiencing the visual arts and music, and do you love fish and wine? Are you active, but also enjoy simply letting your mind wander and taking in the sweeping views of the lake? If so, you’ve come to the right place!

At Lake Steinhuder Meer, which formed after the last ice age 14,000 years ago in a depression in the ground between the northernmost foothills of the low mountain range, the Rehburg Mountains, and the Istied moraines near Mardorf.

A recreational area for every taste

Whether you prefer the peaceful charm of Mardorf, Rehburg-Loccum, and Hagenburg, or the livelier atmosphere of Steinhude—these local recreational areas have something for everyone. From comfortable vacation apartments, vacation homes, guesthouses, and hotels to charming farm stays and rural accommodations, everyone can find the perfect place to stay. The towns of Neustadt am Rübenberge, Wunstorf, and Rehburg-Loccum serve as cultural hubs.

The landscape around Lake Steinhuder Meer is particularly diverse. Here you’ll find forests, moors, heaths, and shifting dunes from the Ice Age all side by side, and it’s truly a sight to behold. Lake Steinhuder Meer offers the perfect beach experience at the large swimming beach on the north shore and near the bathing island in Steinhude, especially for families with small children, since the water here is shallow and warms up quickly.
