Mittellandkanal: Uphill and downhill with cobblestones. Otherwise good to ride.

The cafe is permanently closed. However, there is a delicious bakery just around the corner.

It is a very quiet place in the middle of nature, which at the same time documents the oppressive history of the border. Near the Border Museum (in neighboring Böckwitz) there are often covered places.

Geographically and ecologically, the Giebelmoor is a special feature: it is considered the southwesternmost spur of the East European alder swamp forest and the taiga. Here, maritime influences from the west meet continental influences from the east, creating a unique mix of species diversity.

The Wendschott Canal Bridge (officially often referred to as Bridge 440) is a distinctive structure in Wolfsburg that crosses the Mittelland Canal. It is of particular importance for walkers, cyclists, and tourists, as it represents a central connection between the Wendschott district and the recreational area around the Allersee.

The Wendschotter Bridge is far more than just a functional structure – it is a distinctive landmark in the northeast of Wolfsburg and an important connection point on the Mittelland Canal. The bridge immediately catches the eye with its modern tied-arch construction. Particularly striking is the white, curved steel arch that spans the roadway. This design not only ensures stability but also lends the structure a certain lightness that integrates well with the surrounding waterscape.
