The small town of Steinhude is located on the southern shore of the Steinhuder Lake, 20 miles west of Hanover, Germany. It was formerly a small fishing village. Now it’s a primarily rural, nationally - recognized holiday resort. The fishing nets and baskets, the fishing boats and the peat skiffs on the shore provide a touch of nostalgia. Even today the fishermen still sail out onto the lake. In the town centre of Steinhude you will find many old, half-timbered houses, cosy restaurants and numerous shops. The locality of Steinhude offers a great choice of leisure and sporting activities. The focus of the Steinhuder holiday resort is the 35 000 square metre artificial beach island 'Badeinsel', with a beautiful sandy beach, a sunbathing area and extensive play areas. The brackish moor water is biologically very healthy and prized the swimmers and paddlers. The Steinhuder Meer is well-known as a sailor’s paradise! National and international Regattas are held here annually.
