Strandhaus Schöner at Olga Harbor

Highlight • Restaurant

The beach house at Olgahafen is really good and inexpensive. There is a playground opposite. The fish is highly recommended, but there are plenty of alternatives if you don't like fish or prefer something sweet.

In all seasons of the year ornithologists get their money's worth in the nature reserves around the lake: some rare species only stop here on their journey to other regions, others have settled and spend the whole year in the 45 km² large area shaped by the Hunte Wetland of the Dümmerland.

In addition to the four observation towers around the Dümmer, another tower was added in 2018. It stands directly on the water's edge and offers a beautiful view of the lake. From here, new insights into the north bay, which is part of the Dümmer nature reserve, emerge.

Dümmer Lake Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

You can not only observe the extraordinary bird life from the lookout towers. There are also well-known resting places where you can see snipes, cranes and other bird species. Depending on the time of day, the cranes gather at feeding or sleeping places.
