The "Malerradweg durch Weizenfelder" (Painter's Cycle Path through Wheat Fields) near Reislingen is a particularly beautiful section of a bike tour in the east of Wolfsburg. It is located near the Reislingen district and is part of a well-developed cycle route, often used by leisure and road cyclists. The open landscape is typical for this section: the cycle path leads through wide agricultural areas, where golden wheat fields stand in summer. This creates a quiet, almost "picturesque" atmosphere – probably where the name "Malerradweg" comes from. The route is wide, well-asphalted, and suitable for pleasant relaxed rides or for more sporty tours without much traffic.

Ride particularly slowly and with high attention at junctions and crossings – traffic is often confusing there, and the signage sometimes switches between your own bike path and shared guidance.

Good cycle paths. Suitable for children. Better to bring food and drinks. Castle visit only possible from the outside.

Without the canal, Wolfsburg would probably not exist in its current form. When the city and the Volkswagen factory were planned in the late 1930s, the connection to the Mittelland Canal was crucial for transporting coal for its own power plant and for the removal of manufactured vehicles.
