Großer Koldinger See

The Kolding Lakes are part of a nature reserve and next to the Steinhuder Sea the most important bird resting area in the region Hannover. From the observation tower you can get a good overview.

Lookout tower Grasdorf

The Koldingen lakes have developed into an important breeding, resting and wintering area for the bird life. To date, over 240 different bird species have been identified here. This makes the nature reserve between Koldingen and Ruthe one of the most attractive places for bird watching in the Hanover region alongside the Steinhuder Meer. To keep it that way, the animals must not be disturbed or startled and the riparian zones must not be entered. Breeding and migratory birds can be observed from good cover from the observation tower that the Hanover region has erected on the western shore of the Great Koldinger See. Source: Hannover.de

Beautiful quiet lake, where you can walk / hike and bike.

Beautiful quiet lake, where you can walk and bike.

In this area you can just be happy and enjoy nature, whether by bike or on foot.

The lookout tower is large, well covered. Weatherproof is definitely. It is very quiet, except for the sounds of nature of course. The atmosphere at the golden and blue hour is relaxing and you can really make up and enjoy the eyes. Again, it is worth taking photos.

Very nice and quiet landscape. To switch off and recharge your batteries just perfect. The lake is big but not too crowded, unlike the Maschsee (which is great too). Photographers get a lot in front of the lens here. Whether landscape or wildlife ... at the golden or blue hour. It is really worthwhile and you can come here several times to look for different spots.

The way is (as of 2019) very well maintained and easy to ride on the bike. It is always an experience to ride this section, at any time of the day or season, there are different natural impressions.
