Steinhuder Meer Rundweg

Discover the lake region by bike

In the Lake Steinhuder Meer holiday region, cycling is the most popular holiday activity next to swimming. No cyclist will miss the opportunity to cycle around Lake Steinhuder Meer at least once on the excellently developed circular route. The approximately 32-kilometer tour connects the numerous cultural and scenic highlights by the lake. So you can easily spend a whole day on and off the circular route.

On this path you will roam by bike or on foot through diverse landscapes that frame the large lake like a sparkling gem. The shore will change its shape several times during your hike. Sometimes it is trees lined up right at the water's edge, sometimes it is reeds, then the flat spur of a large dune pushes into the water and forms a fine sandy beach. You move in the shade of a forest, which eventually opens up to wide wet meadows. Later you reach a primeval alder marsh forest, a paradise for songbirds and waterfowl, which you are allowed to enter on a fortified footbridge.
