Tips from the Community

Togro
June 12, 2026, View of the Mittelland Canal

A good, realistic tip: Go onto one of the cycle and foot paths along the Mittellandkanal and find one of the road bridges (e.g. outside of Gifhorn towards Isenbüttel). From above you have the best view, especially when a ship passes or in the late afternoon with the sun low – then the canal appears surprisingly calm and spacious.

The Elbe-Seitenkanal (ESK) is one of the most important artificial waterways in Northern Germany. It connects the Mittelland Canal near Wolfsburg (Sülfeld) with the Elbe near Artlenburg (near Lüneburg). The canal was opened in 1976 and is approximately 115 kilometers long. It was built to make Elbe shipping independent of the fluctuating water levels of the Elbe and the former inner-German border.

"Ulenboom" is Low German for owl tree. The name comes from the fact that owls found shelter in the crown or in the hollows of the old trunk. In village folklore, the call of the owl was often considered a mystical sign, which gave the tree a special aura. The linden tree is estimated to be several hundred years old. It has witnessed wars, village fires and the transformation from a heathland circular village to a modern community.

Cars travel fast on the L289. There's a bike path between Lessien and Ehra that's easy to ride!
