Tips from the Community

June 10, 2026, NABU Leiferde Stork Nest

The NABU Nature Conservation Centre Leiferde with the stork's nest is a very rewarding destination for nature lovers and families in the Gifhorn region. Particularly exciting is the view of the storks in the live nest on the chimney – you can often observe Fridolin and Mai and their offspring there, sometimes even via webcam directly on-site or online.

Das Strandgut Café & Grill is one of the central culinary hotspots at the Tankumsee and is located almost directly on the north shore, not far from the large bathing beach. It is the perfect addition to your previous destinations in the Isenbüttel and Calberlah region.

Especially for children, it's a climbing paradise, whether in summer or winter. For adults, there are plenty of benches next to a large shelter.

The wooden bridge is certainly an eye-catcher when I drove over it on my road bike. Would the wooden planks of the wooden bridge have been more enjoyable than the smooth surface of the car bridge?
