Discover Soltau
Accommodation in Soltau
Soltau offers all sorts of ideas for a holiday: roller coasters at Heide Park Resort, hands-on insights into the world of felt and a large park close to the town centre. There is also a toy museum and Soltau Therme, with its own children’s area. If you’re planning a trip with your family, you can choose between thrilling rides, hands-on activities and time in green surroundings—or make different interests the focus of your trip.
Rides and activities for younger children
At Heide Park Resort, the “Big 7” roller coasters take centre stage. They include Colossos, Krake and Scream. If roller coasters are an important part of your holiday, you’ll find a clearly defined selection here, distinct from Soltau’s other experiences. When planning your trip, you can weigh up this focus against your family’s other interests, rather than planning every day around the same kind of activity.
Heide Park Resort also has Peppa Pig Land, an area with rides and attractions for younger children. Soltau Therme offers another dedicated attraction for young visitors: its separate children’s area has play opportunities in the “Enchanted Forest.” So, alongside the roller coasters, there are two activities specifically aimed at children. Which ones you prioritise depends on the kind of outing that suits your family.
Try felt-making and see a doll’s house
At felto Filzwelt Soltau, visitors can explore felt in a playful, experimental way across five floors. Activities include model machines, a walk-in type case and the chance to make felt yourself. It’s not just about looking at finished felt creations: these examples invite you to explore the material in different ways. If your family enjoys trying things out and getting hands-on, this offers a different kind of trip from rides or a visit to the park.
The Toy Museum Soltau features a specific exhibit: the doll’s house “Dingley Hall,” which is three metres wide and two metres high. Its name and dimensions offer a memorable point of reference for a museum visit if you’re interested in toys and doll’s houses. Together with the felt museum, the Toy Museum offers a cultural perspective on Soltau that differs from its leisure attractions.
Green time at Breidings Garten
Breidings Garten is an 11-hectare park a few hundred metres from Soltau town centre. The industrialist Röders family laid it out from 1850 onwards. Its size, location and history give the garden its own distinct character: the focus here is a spacious park, not a ride or a hands-on activity. As a change of pace from a day focused on attractions, you can plan a visit to the garden as an outing in its own right.
Breidings Garten is open daily from 7:00 am to 9:00 pm from May to October, and from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm from November to April. Restrictions may apply during events and in unusual weather conditions. If you’re planning to include the garden in your day, take these seasonal opening times and possible restrictions into account.
Choose Soltau as your holiday destination
Soltau has a train station, so you can get there by rail. The town is also accessible by car and public transport: it is connected to the A7 motorway and the local public transport network. These connections can help you decide whether to travel by train or car. You can choose which of Soltau’s experiences will shape your stay—roller coasters, activities for children, felt, the museum or the park—according to your family’s interests.
