The Koldinger Lakes in the southern Leineaue are something special and always worth a walk. Expansive bodies of water, green-lined shores, honking geese and chirping birds amidst relaxing silence. It takes about an hour to explore the area on designated paths. It is hard to imagine that in this idyllic area, just a few years ago, wheel loaders, bulldozers and dredgers shaped the landscape.

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.

View of the ponds with bench (Leineaue between Ruthe and Koldingen)

Highlight • Lake

The bench is right on the bike path for this section of the route. From there you have a beautiful view of the lake. The right place for a quiet, relaxed rest.

There are many ways between Hanover and Hildesheim. Two of them are available to choose from here. The way there along Leinemasch and Koldinger Seenplatte is much more varied. You should also see the Hildesheim harbor and the canals. A robust vehicle with tires at least 35 mm wide is recommended.

Evening round with fresh SW to W and only 17° Celsius. The routes were also nice and free.

Used one of the last summer days to do a long lap through the area. It was wonderful to drive despite the partly damp and leaf-covered paths.
