    A beautiful circular path leads around the city moat past the water tower and whoever wants to enlarge the circuit can continue walking along beautiful paths next to the Oker

      Today's town of Wolfenbüttel owes its name to the former moated castle of the same name. The settlement area around Wolfenbüttel Castle, the district around the residential castle that still stands today, was later named Dammfestung after a dam that had been built around the castle in the swampy area of the Oker river. This dam fortress and the various districts of the old and new Heinrichstadt, Auguststadt and today's Juliusstadt, which together with the dam fortress have borne the city name Wolfenbüttel since 1747, separated and flowed through artificially created arms of the Okerstrom. Today, with a few exceptions, these Wolfenbüttel waterways no longer exist. A signposted tour should help clarify the former location and shape of the ditches and canals in the city area.

        The old ramparts of the former Cornelius bulwark are today a real leisure paradise: The so-called moat, today a welcoming pond on the edge of the old town, offers with fountain and swan house, secluded fishing spots, a boules court, a fitness track, tennis courts, foot and Bike paths, a city beach, Kanustationen, children's playgrounds, the old water tower and the nearby Allwetterbad with adventure golf course a popular destination for guests and tourists. In addition to games and fun, the culture is located here: in the northwestern part of the former cemetery joins on which, inter alia, Lessing's wife, Eva King, is buried. And at the southwestern end of the moat is the Lessing Theater, built in 1909 and recently completely renovated.
