Diepholz offers many opportunities for leisure and sporting activities in particular. A beautiful town fit for exploration by foot, bicycle or car, Diepholz is a small gem that is sure to capture the interest of any traveller. Boasting a 1,400 kilometre cycle route, sports lovers are sure to feel at home in this great town which lies off the beaten track. For water sports, nearby Dummer offers sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, archery and gliding.

For a respite from sports, visitors can tour down the winding courtyard lanes and retreat in one of the many quiet cafes. There is even the chance to tray to ride with a ‘Moorbahn’ in order to see the beautiful scenery on offer in the traditional style. Perhaps if you are lucky you might even run into a herdsman, or "Diepholzer Moorschnucken" along the way.

Other opportunities for leisure include the many wine and cultural festivals that populate the city’s social calendar. There are also many social gatherings in the Munte park.
