Removed from Unnamed collection

Maschsee is a nautical haven nestled right in the heart of the city! Spanning 190 acres, this recreational gem offers a slice of holiday bliss just around the corner. Whether you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll, an energetic jog, savoring delicious food, or dancing the night away, Maschsee Lake caters to all. On sunny days, the lake becomes a hotspot for water sports enthusiasts. You'll often find locals gathering at the Torchbearer on the North Shore, a favorite rendezvous point.

Hannover's Maschsee Lake not only provides a tranquil escape on the water but also around it: it's perfect for yachting, canoeing, and pedal-boating. It's a paradise for joggers, skaters, and those who just enjoy a good walk. Plus, the celebrated Sprengel Museum Hannover graces the lake's banks, offering a cultural touch to your visit.

Just across the way, you can wander through the serene Maschpark to reach the stunning New Town Hall. Taking the unique curving lift up to the 97-meter-high Town Hall dome is an adventure in itself. Once at the top, you're rewarded with breathtaking views stretching all the way to the Deister Hills. From this vantage point, it's easy to see why Hannover proudly claims the title of Germany’s greenest city. Did you know that the lake is also home to the annual Maschseefest? This vibrant festival draws visitors from all over, featuring live music, international cuisine, and a lively atmosphere that captures the essence of summer in Hannover.
