The Tankumsee near Isenbüttel (Gifhorn district) is essentially the "big sibling" of the Bernsteinsee in Stüde. With approximately 62 hectares of water surface, it is significantly larger and one of the most well-known local recreation destinations in the entire region between Wolfsburg, Gifhorn and Braunschweig. The Tankumsee is famous for its approximately 1,000-meter-long, fine sandy beach. This creates a real vacation feeling in the summer.
