During the walking tour, guests learn fascinating details about the history of Steinhude – from its origins as a fishing and weaving village to today's excursion destination on Lake Steinhude.

A special highlight is the exclusive visit to the historic box frame, which is only possible as part of this guided tour. There, you will gain insight into the traditional craft of linen weaving, which has shaped the town for centuries.

The tour continues through the picturesque Scheunenviertel with its lovingly restored buildings. Along the promenade, you will also learn interesting facts about fishing on Lake Steinhude – including historical fishing methods and the importance of eel smoking for the region.
Another highlight is the view of Wilhelmstein Island, whose history as a former fortress and prison island is as fascinating as it is unique, as well as a visit to the courtyard of the Fishermen and Weavers Museum.
