    Hiking

    Due to the inner-German division, a very important shipping connection was lost for the Federal Republic of Germany, because the Magdeburg waterway junction was in the GDR. As a result, the Elbe (and the North Sea) could no longer be reached from the Mittelland Canal. To create an alternative for this, a new canal was built between 1968 and 1976.

    West of Wolfsburg near Edesbüttel, the Elbe Lateral Canal branches off from the Mittelland Canal and runs close to Uelzen and Lüneburg to Artlenburg, where it flows into the Elbe.
