The shimmering waters of the Steinhuder Meer form the heart of its surrounding nature park and offer an idyllic setting for outdoor enthusiasts. Covering 32 square kilometres, this vast inland lake is the largest in northwestern Germany and an inviting destination for anyone who loves life on or by the water. With an average depth of 1.5 metres, the lake provides ideal conditions for sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, stand-up paddling and swimming. Beyond its lively waterfront, the Steinhuder Meer showcases a landscape of reed belts, meadows and gentle woodlands that frame the horizon in every direction. Nature trails and cycling paths wind through the park, creating countless opportunities to explore the region's rich flora and fauna. Whether enjoying a peaceful paddle at sunrise, catching the wind with a sail, or simply soaking up the lakeside tranquillity, visitors experience a unique blend of nature, freedom and relaxation. The Steinhuder Meer brings together sport, recreation and natural beauty in perfect harmony – a place where the rhythm of wind and water sets the pace of the day.
