On the trail of the dinos by bike

Cycling, whether with pure muscle power or the tailwind of an electric motor, is becoming increasingly popular. A true Eldorado for pedalers of all kinds is the Steinhuder Meer in the Hannover region. Its surroundings are ideal for cycling tours. There are almost no gradients at the largest lake in Lower Saxony, but well-developed and signposted cycle paths. So it's no wonder that cycling is one of the most popular holiday activities at Lake Steinhude. The highlight is the Steinhuder Meer circular route with one million cyclists every year. Popular on the 600 kilometres of signposted cycle paths are numerous themed routes such as the Moor Route, the Church and Monastery Route or the Dinosaur Route. They lead through exciting epochs of history.

From the dinosaurs to the early Middle Ages and the Romantic era. On a scenic cycle route you can explore the unique natural landscape of the Steinhuder Meer, the Rehburg Hills, wonderful vantage points and many sights. In the Cretaceous period 139 million years ago, huge dinosaurs lived here in the region around Münchehagen. On the 30 km long dinosaur tour, cyclists and hikers can get up close and personal with these witnesses of the past at eight adventure stations. They encounter relics from the time of the dinosaurs, footprints in sandstone slabs, "palaeo art" works of art or finds that vividly demonstrate the incredible size of the dinosaurs that lived here. 

There are numerous excursion sites along the way of the Dino Tour. Loccum Monastery invites you to visit the monastery grounds and the collegiate church, in the historic Romantik Bad Rehburg spa complex you can walk in the footsteps of the Hanoverian royal family, the Ecological Protection Station in Winzlar on the Steinhuder Meer shows the flora and fauna of the nature park in an exhibition, and the Saurierfährten natural monument with over 300 fossilised dinosaur tracks awaits you in the Dinosaur Open Air Museum.


As diverse as these tracks are the opportunities to have fun on, in and on the water. On hot summer days, cooling off in the water is a treat. On not-so-hot days, holidaymakers can enjoy excellent sailing, surfing, kiting, SUPing or canoeing in harmony with the elements of water and wind. Others will hire electric boats or pedalos, take a boat trip across the Steinhuder Meer with the Steinhuder Personenschifffahrt, go on a cycling or hiking tour along the shore on their own, or simply sit on the jetty and watch the unique sunsets. Even in the coldest winter, the frozen sea offers a unique landscape and if the ice is thick enough, ice sailing and skating are possible.

The Wunstorf bathing island is an artificial island and covers 35000 square metres with a beautiful sandy beach, sunbathing lawn and a large playground. The shallow shore zone is particularly suitable for children and the whole bathing island is very popular with families. The bistro is located directly on the shore, where you can enjoy the sunset with a snack or a drink. Out of season, the bathing island can also be used as a surfing spot. Prefer bathing without the sea? Then the Münchehagen leisure pool, the Rehburg indoor swimming pool, the Luthe nature adventure pool or the Balneon in Neustadt are the places to go.


Guests looking for a special regional treat should definitely try the Steinhude smoked eel, smoked according to an old tradition. Vegetables from controlled cultivation, meat from species-appropriate animal husbandry, bread from regional bakers and breakfast eggs from happy chickens - all this, and many more delicious products and specialities, can be found in the farm shops and farm cafés around Lake Steinhude.

The Neustadt harbour was once the economic lifeline of the city. It has always been a place of arrival, trade and anchoring, and for some years now it has also been transformed into a venue for events from time to time. Very characteristic of the fjord-like harbour are the traditional sailing ships such as the Norden and Dresden, which have dropped anchor here, but also the colourful fishing boats of the Neustadt fishermen's office.

The choice of accommodation is varied - from log cabins, campsites, guesthouses and holiday homes to noble resorts with lake views, there is something for every taste. In many cases, parking spaces and WLAN are free of charge.
