Wolfsburg water trail: The fountain and spring hike on the water trail in Wolfsburg leads to numerous stations around water. The entire route is around 12 km, but can also be shortened. Smaller children can easily manage the route in a buggy or stroller. The path leads to pumps, springs, ponds and fountains right through the city forest. [from baby age]The dragonfly symbol puts families on the right path on the fountain and spring hike in Wolfsburg.The starting point of the fountain and spring hike is the square in front of the VW pool, where, in addition to drinking water dispensers and natural stones, an information board shows the course of the path. The brochure from the Wolfsburg municipal utilities, which run the water trail and add new objects every now and then, is also helpful. From here, the family heads either towards the "Three Stones" or the fountain on the Kaiserstuhl. The lava stone in the shape of a throne provides hikers with fresh water. The walk continues idyllically through the Hasselbach valley to the draw well and the dragonfly grounds. Other stops on the hike are the rest area at the old carp ponds, the charcoal burner's well and the beetle drinking trough. In between, the view falls as far as the drinking water reservoir in Nordsteimke. With a capacity of 45 million liters, it serves to ensure the drinking water supply. Of course, everyone wants to try the vintage hand pump to see if it can pump water to the surface, while salamanders or rare bird species can be spotted at the watermill wheel. Information about the objects complements the water trail around the Hasselbach and Rabenberg.

There is fresh water to refill the drinking bottles or to drink immediately. The Käfertränke is a great place to take a break and have a picnic, especially with children.
