    A beautiful lake with sandy beaches. You can comfortably walk around it in just under an hour on good paths.

    Hiking

    Tankumsee is an artificial lake in Isenbüttel, in the district of Gifhorn. It was created around 1970 as a gravel pit during the construction of the Elbe Lateral Canal and was opened as a bathing lake in 1976. Since then, a recreational area with holiday homes and leisure activities has developed around the lake. (Wikipedia)
