Discover Sehnde: Culture, Leisure and Cycling Routes

Sehnde offers several different starting points for planning a trip: regional history, water-based leisure, historic trams, and cycling and walking opportunities along the Mittelland Canal. If you are looking for a hotel in Sehnde, you can first consider which of these themes you want to shape your stay. The destinations below offer different kinds of experiences and can help you decide what to focus on during your trip.

Regional history and changing exhibitions

The Sehnde Regional Museum has a permanent exhibition on regional history, focusing on the historic region of Das Große Freie, as well as changing special exhibitions. The museum therefore combines a permanent historical theme with a complementary programme that changes over time. If you are planning a museum visit, check the current exhibition programme so you can take account of both the permanent focus and the special exhibition currently on display.

Swimming and leisure at the outdoor pool

The Sehnde outdoor pool offers swimming and non-swimming areas, a one-metre and a three-metre diving tower, a slide, a children’s pool and water play features. Other leisure facilities include a children’s playground, two beach volleyball courts, chess and Connect Four. The options range from swimming and playing in the water to other activities on land. As leisure facilities can change over time, check the pool’s current information before your visit.

Rides on historic trams

The Hanover Tramway Museum offers something different: you can ride restored vehicles on the museum’s circular route and on the outdoor track. While the Regional Museum focuses on the history of Das Große Freie, this museum offers rides on historic trams as a hands-on activity. The two cultural options therefore differ in focus: regional history on the one hand, and rides on restored vehicles on the other.

Cycling and walking along the Mittelland Canal

Near Sehnde, you can use the old towpaths along the Mittelland Canal for cycling and walking. A 60-kilometre cycling route along the Mittelland Canal passes through Sehnde and includes sights and rest stops. The information suits different kinds of plans: the towpaths are mentioned for both walking and cycling, while the distance provides a guide to the cycling route. If you are planning a bike ride, bear in mind that the 60 kilometres refer to the entire route described.

Cycling to Gutshof Rethmar

Gutshof Rethmar is accessible by bicycle along the Mittelland Canal. This provides a specific detail to help you plan your bike trip to this destination.

Seasonal ingredients and nature in spring

The dishes at Gutshof use fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables from the estate’s garden; the produce can vary from year to year. If seasonal ingredients matter to you when planning your trip, this connection between the garden and the kitchen offers a specific point of interest.

Bockmerholz is another natural attraction in the area around Sehnde. Parts of the area are protected; in April, wood anemones form dense carpets of flowers there. If you would like to see this particular spring bloom, April offers a specific seasonal guide.
