We for You

Only The Best Is Good Enough

For you, only the best is good enough. Therefore, quality is our first priority. We are the Steinhuder Meer Tourismus GmbH and would like to introduce ourselves to you. What is our main task and what services do we provide? You will find the answers here.

We worked hard to get the certification for Steinhude and Mardorf as "state-approved recreation area". This is the first region in Lower Saxony that received certification for accessibility within a nature reserve. The Tourist Information centers in Mardorf, Neustadt a. Rbge., Rehburg-Loccum and Steinhude received the special award called i-Marke. The Steinhuder Meer Tourismus GmbH is awarded by the "ServiceQualität Deutschland" with grade 1. More than 100 partners take part in the classifications by DTV for guestrooms, holiday flats and holiday homes.

Steinhuder Meer Tourismus GmbH

On December 16th, 2004 the Steinhuder Meer Tourismus GmbH (SMT) was founded by the city of Wunstorf and the tourist office Lake Steinhuder Meer. Since February 2007, the town Hagenburg also joined the company and on May 1st, 2008, Neustadt a. Rbge. and the tourist office Mardorf followed. The SMT was completed in April 2010 with the last bordering municipality Rehburg-Loccum. Currently, the shareholders of SMT are the city of Wunstorf, the city of Neustadt am Rübenberge, the city of Rehburg-Loccum and the municipality of Sachsenhagen.
