Naturpark-Haus Mardorf

The Naturpark-Haus Mardorf sits on the northern shore of Lake Steinhude, directly along the scenic circular path that traces its banks. As one of the central visitor information centres within the Steinhuder Meer Nature Park, it offers valuable insights into the region’s landscapes, wildlife, and conservation efforts. Inside, the permanent exhibition “From Peat Extraction to Climate Protection – The Changing Role of Moors” takes visitors on a fascinating journey through the ecological importance and transformation of moorlands. Interactive displays and vivid presentations explain how these unique ecosystems have evolved from sites of traditional resource use into vital allies in protecting the climate and biodiversity. The centre also serves as the ideal starting point for guided moor excursions, where nature enthusiasts can experience this fragile environment up close and discover how it is being restored and preserved. With its welcoming atmosphere and multilingual information, the Naturpark-Haus Mardorf appeals to families, school groups, and individual visitors alike. An e-bike charging point adds convenience for cyclists exploring the area. Perfect for all weather conditions, the centre combines education, recreation, and environmental awareness in one inspiring setting—making it a must-visit gateway to one of Lower Saxony’s most captivating natural landscapes.
