The best hikes from bus stations around Stadtwaldsee

Very beautiful ensemble of houses with Hanseatic chic! 👀😍🏫 Highlight in Bremen 👍

From the bridge, a charming view opens up onto the tree-lined banks, the calm water surface, and the well-kept park landscape. Particularly impressive are the reflections of the old giant trees in the water, which, depending on the weather and season, create new photo opportunities time and again.

The Emmasee in Bremen's Bürgerpark was named after Countess Emma von Lesum (Lesmona), who was considered very generous and to whom the citizens of Bremen owe their Bürgerweide (the area between the Bürgerpark and the main station). As early as 1867, a coffee house with a music pavilion was built, initially as a tent improvisation. In 1897, it was rebuilt in Tyrolean style into an elegant coffee house, which was destroyed in World War II. In 1964, it was rebuilt with funds from the Bremer Bürgerpark lottery. The Bremer Bürgerpark lottery, as the name suggests, serves to preserve the Bremer Bürgerpark, which belongs to the citizens of Bremen and is financed solely by lottery funds and donations. By the way, Lesum, as part of Burg-Lesum, is today a district in Bremen-Nord, north of the river of the same name, the Lesum, which flows into the Weser near Bremen-Vegesack. Lesum or Lesmona probably became known beyond the region through the novel and the feature film "Summer in Lesmona", a true story in Lesum's Knoops-Park on the banks of the Lesum.

The Parkhotel Bremen is a traditional five-star luxury hotel, idyllically located in the Bürgerpark directly on the Hollersee, combining historic elegance with a quiet, green location not far from the city center.

The Bremen gable houses – especially on the east side of the market square and in the historic Schnoor quarter – with their richly decorated Weser Renaissance and Baroque facades, shape the charming, historic cityscape of the Hanseatic city.

A quiet moment at the Hollersee with a view of the traditional Parkhotel Bremen. The elegant building blends harmoniously into the green park landscape and, depending on the light, is atmospherically reflected in the water. Especially in the evening hours, this place unfolds a special atmosphere and invites you to take a short break during your tour.

The Stadtwaldsee in Bremen – usually simply called "Unisee" – lies directly next to the university in Horn-Lehe. It was created in the 1970s as a result of construction and sand extraction work following the building of the motorway. The lake, which is approximately 15 meters deep and covers 29 hectares, is fed primarily by groundwater. The lake is an easily accessible local recreation area for the residents of Bremen. On the bathing side, there are sunbathing lawns and beach areas.

The University Wilderness at Bremen's Stadtwaldsee (City Forest Lake) is a small nature reserve that provides habitat for a variety of plants and animals. It covers 11.4 hectares and has been a protected area since 1991. The area originated as a secondary biotope following the excavation of the city lake. The resulting spoil was largely left to its own devices. Today, ponds, shallow water zones, and dry sandy grasslands characterize the area. Besides various dragonfly and amphibian species, you might also be lucky enough to spot kingfishers here.
