The Maschsee is an impressive artificial lake situated in the very heart of Hanover, which serves as a popular focal point for a variety of activities and leisure pursuits.
Completed in 1936, it extends 2.4 kilometers and is up to 530 meters wide in places. It's the city's largest and busiest sports and recreation area, equally popular among boaters — both sailing and powered vessels — as well as swimmers, drawn by the chance to sunbathe on Maschsee Beach.
The lake is also circled by many excellent pathways and is the perfect place for a stroll or picnic.
