Discover Wehdel: Silbersee, swimming area and nature

The Silbersee recreation area lies around two kilometres south of Wehdel. Its designated swimming area offers a specific point of reference for anyone looking to include time in the water in their travel plans. There is also beach volleyball, a football pitch, a playground and mini golf. This means a visit need not be focused solely on swimming: ball games and play add to the range of activities and can appeal to different interests within a travel group. If you are looking for accommodation in Wehdel, you can therefore consider early on whether Silbersee should play an important role in your stay.

Silbersee: recreation and landscape

The recreation area also has benches for resting and camping facilities. Silbersee is located in the Silbersee and Laaschmoor Landscape Conservation Area. The protected landscape gives swimming and relaxation by the lake a nature-oriented setting. If the surroundings matter to you as well as the individual activities on offer, this connection to the landscape adds to the lake’s recreational appeal.

Mini golf is available only at certain times. If this activity is important to your plans, check the relevant visiting period before making it a firm part of your schedule.

Different experiences on the lake and river

Visitors can go canoeing on the Geeste within the municipality of Schiffdorf. Fishing, swimming, horse riding and cycling are also possible there. The Geeste runs through the municipality and flows into the Weser. This makes the river a clear point of reference for a canoe trip, while the other activities offer further ways to spend time in the municipality. You can therefore organise your options by water- and land-based activities: canoeing, fishing and swimming on the one hand, and horse riding and cycling on the other.

The difference between Silbersee and the Geeste helps when deciding how to spend time in the water: Silbersee has a designated swimming area, while canoeing is possible on the Geeste. Thinking of swimming and canoeing as different experiences can make it easier to decide what kind of time by the water you want to shape your stay around. The other activities in Schiffdorf broaden the options beyond these two water-based activities.

Consider activities when looking for accommodation

When looking for accommodation in Wehdel, the location of Silbersee around two kilometres south of the village offers a specific point of reference. If swimming, ball games or the playground are likely to shape your stay, you can take the recreation area into account when considering where to stay. For canoeing on the Geeste and the other activities, you can also consider the wider municipality of Schiffdorf. Think about whether you would prefer to focus on what Silbersee offers or have a broader range of activities. This helps you discuss different interests within a travel group and tailor your search to the activities you would like to enjoy each day.
