  • You visit Hannover? Go maschsee! Really. The page is man made, it's the heart of Hannover and you can boat on it, if you like. Pick a sunny day and enjoy. Full pull.  more »
  • The Maschsee Lake is a popular destination for us Hanoverian. Whether it's winter or summer. Man can from here in the Masch, the Maschpark, or directly into the city. It's okay to close.
