Koldinger Lakes
Highlight • Lake
The Koldinger Lakes are a second-hand habitat. It was created by intensive soil extraction. For over 40 years, gravel and sand were mined here and processed into high-quality aggregates for the construction industry. The legacy: around 190 hectares of water surface, spread across a good dozen lakes. Due to its great importance for flora and fauna, especially for birdlife, the lake landscape has been under nature protection since 2001. Besides the Steinhuder Meer, it is the most important bird resting area in the region.
To make the area an experience for people, accessible and explorable, the Region of Hanover has, among other things, created a circular hiking trail around the Großer Koldinger See, set up an observation tower on its west bank, and created a north-south route connection towards Ruthe, along which Route 15 of the FAHRRADREGION HANNOVER runs from the Maschsee through the Southern Leineaue.
