Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Not nearly as crowded in winter as in the best weather in summer. Otherwise much quieter in the direction of the canal.

November 12, 2022,Tankumsee – Umrundung im November

First of all: it looks like sunset, but we started at 11 a.m. When the sky was overcast, the sun only occasionally shone through.
As a teenager, I spent a lot of time at Lake Tankumsee, first on the beach and later on wild camping with the group. Since I live far away now, I'm only here once in a …

Today a lap around the Tankumsee. Cold but sunny. Nice round!!

It consists of the Tankumsee and an associated local recreation area. The Tankumsee was created during the construction of the Elbe side canal in 1972. In the following years, …

Another lake 😁😁 but 289 km further east and a little to the north.

I'm at home with the extended family, there's a 1st and an 84th birthday to celebrate 🎂
Between breakfast and lunch, Kalle and I take a little walk, the weather is far too nice to just drink coffee ☕ all day (at least inside)

October 31, 2022,Tankumsee-Runde mit Seeblick & ohne Sonnenuntergang 6,6km

After the morning bike tour was completed alone, we went together to the Tankumsee. The sunset should be introduced with a piece of wheat at the lake view. The closing cloud cover made it naught and the red component in the sky was sparse on the ESK as well. Maybe next time again...

Hi,

There are golden autumn days, but there are also gray ones. We experienced a gray one in Gifhorn.

We chose one of the most beautiful recreation areas around here. In summer, the Tankumsee, a very popular swimming lake, is quite busy. Rowers and sailors are also active here. As someone from northern Germany, I was surprised by the number …

Short walks after a Father's Day visit to the in-laws. Tankumsee is definitely a place we will come back to - beautiful beach, several options for refreshments, beautiful nature...everything you could want for a nice afternoon.

February 15, 2026,Umrundung Tankumsee bei Gifhorn

On our way back from a lovely few days in the Ise Valley, we took the opportunity to hike around Lake Tankumsee in the sunshine. You can imagine how busy this beautiful lake is in the summer.
