The best gravel rides around Bergfeld

The restaurant is located directly on the Mittellandkanal in the municipality of Rühen (near Wolfsburg-Vorsfelde). The outdoor area is particularly popular in summer, as you can sit directly on the bank and watch the ships go by. It is considered cozy and down-to-earth, often like a classic club-house restaurant (it is located directly at the sports field of SV Blau-Weiß Rühen) with a maritime flair due to its canal location.

The Allersee is the heart of the Allerpark in Wolfsburg and one of the region's most popular recreational areas. It is an artificially created lake that originated in the late 1960s during a diversion of the Aller river.

The Northern Drömling is a significant nature reserve (NSG) in Lower Saxony and an integral part of the cross-border UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Drömling. It is considered one of the most ecologically valuable areas within this unique lowland moor landscape.

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.

The harbor basin is directly connected to the Mittellandkanal. This was one of the main reasons why the plant was built at this exact location at the end of the 1930s. To this day, important raw materials (especially coal for the plant's own power stations) and components are delivered via the canal. Even though the majority of vehicle logistics are now handled by rail and road, the waterway remains a strategic advantage of the site.

The "Old Oak with Hollow Trunk" in the Düpenwiesen is a fascinating natural monument, often mentioned in the same breath as the "Half Heart" tree. While the "Half Heart" impresses with its silhouette, this oak is a symbol of survival and the enormous regenerative power of old trees.

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.
