Silbersee

Silbersee is a lake with bathing areas in Langenhagen that features three sandy beaches and grassy expanses bordered by shallow water zones. The shoreline offers different sections for swimming and relaxation, with varying depths suited to different visitors.

The water body emerged between 1934 and 1935 as an unintended result during autobahn construction in the region. Excavation work for the highway created this natural formation, which later became used as a bathing site.

The lake transformed into a popular recreation spot in the 1960s, where visitors can now enjoy playgrounds, mini-golf, and dining options. These amenities shape the character of the place today and make it a gathering point for families and friends in the area.

The lake is accessible to visitors during swimming season, with lifeguards monitoring beaches on weekends. Plan your visit on sunny days and note that supervision is available on weekdays and holidays when weather conditions are favorable.

Reed zones within the lake host a variety of bird species and provide these animals with a protected refuge. These vegetated areas form an important part of the ecosystem and are off-limits to swimmers, emphasizing their role as a nature reserve.
