From the tower on the north shore trail, enjoy sweeping views across Lake Steinhude and glimpse the distant Isle of Wilhelmstein.

Located directly along the circular trail on the northern shore of Lake Steinhude, the Neue Moorhütte Observation Tower offers an impressive panoramic view over the wide expanse of the lake. From its viewing platform, visitors can take in the serene waters stretching toward the horizon, framed by natural reed beds and vibrant wetlands that shape the character of the Steinhuder Meer Nature Park. On clear days, the historic Wilhelmstein Island can be seen in the distance, a fascinating landmark steeped in local history. The tower is not only an ideal spot for nature lovers but also a favourite destination for birdwatchers, as countless species can be observed throughout the year in their natural habitat. Surrounded by peaceful walking and cycling paths, the tower invites families, school groups, and individual explorers alike to pause, breathe deeply, and enjoy the tranquillity of the northern shore. Whether as a short stop on a scenic tour around the lake or as a destination in itself, the Neue Moorhütte Tower provides a memorable perspective on one of northern Germany’s most beautiful natural landscapes.
