Where to stay in Steuerwald
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Steuerwald Castle is the reason a traveller comes out this far at all, so the district settles a question about sightseeing rather than one about lodging, and the rooms belong to Hildesheim proper. Book the city. Hildesheim concentrates the accommodation for the whole municipality, Steuerwald included, and a room there leaves the castle grounds an ordinary local journey away. Drispenstedt and Moritzberg are districts of the same city.
