Observation Tower "Winzlarer Turm"

The Meerbruch Discovery Trail leads visitors through one of the most scenic parts of the Steinhuder Meer Nature Park. Along the route, three observation huts invite nature enthusiasts to pause and watch the diverse birdlife that thrives in this protected wetland – from graceful waterfowl to rare waders resting in the shallow meadows. The path culminates at the Winzlarer Observation Tower, a true highlight of the area. Rising above the reed landscape, the tower opens up sweeping panoramic views across the shimmering expanse of Lake Steinhude and towards the historic island fortress of Wilhelmstein. A visit offers not only a peaceful encounter with nature but also an educational glimpse into the region’s unique ecosystem. The elevated vantage point allows a better appreciation of the interplay between land, water and wildlife that defines this landscape. Whether as part of a family outing, a school excursion or an individual nature experience, the Winzlarer Tower provides a perfect moment of stillness and inspiration – a place where the beauty and tranquillity of northern Germany can truly be felt.
