Lembruch on Lake Dümmer

Lembruch is a relaxing, maritime town on Lake Dümmer. Bathing beaches, water sports and an adventure playground complement the restaurants, cafés, hotels, holiday homes and Marissa Holiday Park that shape the town. You can use these features of the town to help plan your trip.

Water, activity and time for a swim

Lembruch has boat rental facilities as well as sailing and surfing schools. If you want to experience Lake Dümmer actively, you can plan around sailing, surfing or renting a boat. Individual operators and availability may change; check the latest details before planning around a specific offer.

For swimming, there are bathing beaches and a bathing area directly on the Dümmer dyke, level with Seestraße. An adventure playground adds to the options on land. If your interests vary, you can make water sports, swimming and play different focal points of your stay.

Getting your bearings and travelling there

Lembruch has a tourist information office. The Dümmerland Tourist Information Centre offers excursion tips, accommodation booking, cycling and hiking maps, information brochures, event tips and town maps. These can help you plan a range of activities—from a bike ride or hike to finding out about events. Check current service details before travelling.

The Dümmerland Tourist Information Centre is accessible by VBN bus route 129. The DB railway stations mentioned are in Lemförde, about 7 km away, and Diepholz, about 15 km away. If you are travelling by public transport, check current routes and connections in advance.

Culture and nature in the wider Diepholz destination

The Dümmer Museum Lembruch presents the nature, landscape and culture of Lake Dümmer in the past, present and future. The “Life in the Water” research station explains the ecology of the Dümmer ecosystem in detail. The museum also brings the Stone Age at Lake Dümmer to life with original artefacts dating from 4,000 to 2,000 BC and reconstructions. Alongside leisure activities on the lake, the focus is therefore also on ecological and historical perspectives on Lake Dümmer.

A two-hour discovery tour investigating life in the waters of Lake Dümmer is available as a bookable activity. Participants use hand nets, a plankton net, a thermometer, a questionnaire and a microscope. The activity is for families and smaller groups of fewer than 15 people, school classes, and groups of up to 25 people. The duration and group size provide a clear framework if you would like to include this activity in your stay.

The wider Diepholz destination also offers nature and active pursuits on different scales. In the Diepholz moor, a moor discovery trail about 2 km long with ten informative stops leads through the moor ecosystem, which can be experienced there at any time of year. A cycle route guidance system shows recreational cyclists the way along around 1,700 km of routes in the district of Diepholz. A roughly 105 km stretch of the River Hunte, from the Osnabrück region to Oldenburg, is navigable by canoe. The moor discovery trail offers short stops focused on the ecosystem, while the cycle route guidance system and canoe route cover longer distances. These regional themes add to the options if you are considering other nature or activity highlights for your trip beyond Lembruch.
