In summer, the lake is a hot-spot for sailing, rowing and paddle boarding with many boat rental companies dotted around. Boat trips also run all-year-round further down the lake. The location is peaceful and scenic, however still only a short trip to the centre.
The hotel also benefits from convenient public transport links, being a short three-stop bus ride from the central station, or a 20-minute journey from the airport by taxi. Hamburg train station is one of the busiest in Europe and offers many high-speed rail links.
