One of the city's most popular day-trip destinations and recreational areas: The Maschsee lake in the heart of the city attracts water sports enthusiasts as well as strolling, cycling, or jogging. Hanover relaxes in its maritime paradise: Known far beyond the city limits and certainly one of Hanover's most popular day-trip destinations, the approximately 0.8-square-kilometer Maschsee lake is a popular destination. Created between 1934 and 1936 in the Leinemasch River, this artificial lake attracts water sports enthusiasts as well as its approximately 6-kilometer-long riverside paths, inviting visitors to stroll, cycle, or jog. In recent years, it has also increasingly become a meeting place for inline skaters. Active on, at, and in the Maschsee lake The Maschsee is a suitable venue for regattas and other boat races, such as the annual dragon boat race, as well as many other water sports. Near the Sprengel Museum, there is the Maschsee North Sailing and Yachting School, which offers boat rentals. There is also a sailing and yachting school on Altenbekener Damm, next to a restaurant and café. On the opposite side are the boathouses of the canoeing and paddling clubs and the city's school boathouse. In addition to sailing, rowing, pedal boating, and surfing, you can also swim in the Maschsee: the Maschsee lido is located on the south shore. Maschsee Boat Trips Even non-water sports enthusiasts can experience the Maschsee by boat: the üstra passenger boats, which travel the route North Shore - South Shore - Maschsee Spring - West Shore - Stadium - North Shore during the summer season, can also be rented for coffee cruises or festivals. The Maschsee Spring is not actually a spring – it used to be the source of purified water from the Leine River. Today, the Maschsee water comes from the clean groundwater of the Ricklinger Masch. Walking, Jogging, Cycling & Inline Skating The 6 km circular path around the lake is ideal for walking, jogging, inline skating, or cycling. For walkers, there are several different beer gardens, cafés, and restaurants offering coffee and cake or a good meal. On the north shore, there is a hotel in an exclusive location with views over the lake.

The coffee is highly recommended, and the location, in a former corner shop, is lovingly decorated. The terrace is full of sunshine.
