At the visitor center, you can learn a lot about the Transrapid. You can also purchase souvenirs or make a donation to help restore the train.

For all railway enthusiasts: In Lathen (Emsland), an old steam locomotive has stood as a memorial since 1977, commemorating the long-gone narrow-gauge railway between Lathen and Werlte. The locomotive is nicknamed "Pingel Anton." Although it didn't run on this line, its design resembles the engines that once steamed along here. The memorial locomotive originally came from Donawitz, a town on the Hungarian-Austrian border.

A lovely café overlooking the marina, offering food and drinks. It can get very crowded during the season.
