North Rhine-Westphalia offers many opportunities for short breaks - but those looking for real nature, peace and quiet and a modern infrastructure often come up against limits. Lake Dümmer in Lower Saxony is very close by and combines everything that makes for a successful vacation: recreation close to nature, a variety of activities and plenty of space for relaxation.

In this article, we show why a vacation at Lake Dümmer is the perfect choice for families, couples and dog owners from NRW - and how the Marissa Holiday Park is the ideal starting point.

Marissa Resort vacation park on Lake Dümmer

Why leave NRW at all?

Many destinations in NRW are popular - but often overcrowded for precisely this reason: Eifel, Sauerland, the Ruhr region or amusement parks such as Phantasialand. At the same time, there is a growing desire for more peace and quiet, real nature and a tangible change of scenery. Lake Dümmer in Lower Saxony is ideal for this - and can be reached by car from the Ruhr area, Münsterland or East Westphalia in just 1-2 hours. Perfect for a long weekend or a relaxing family vacation - without a flight, long journey or vacation stress. Modern vacation homes and apartments in a prime location await you at Marissa Ferienpark - ideal for switching off and feeling good.

What makes Lake Dümmer special?

Lake Dümmer is the second largest lake in Lower Saxony and is nestled in the Dümmer Nature Park - surrounded by vast meadows, reed beds and well-developed cycle paths. In contrast to many overcrowded lakes in NRW, the Dümmer offers hardly any mass tourism, but all the more nature, peace and relaxation close to nature. Whether stand-up paddling, sailing, swimming, hiking or cycling - both active vacationers and families get their money's worth here. The shallow shore areas, good infrastructure and relaxed atmosphere make the lake particularly family-friendly. Dog owners and those seeking peace and quiet will also find their own personal vacation happiness here.
