Damming the Ilmenau to reinforce the urban fortification.

Hiking

The Ratsteich was originally created by damming an arm of the Ilmenau as part of fortification measures. Today, the Ratsteich is a popular tourist destination: there are restaurants here, you can stroll through the park and relax on the benches. The Ratsteich meadow is also a popular place to play. I particularly liked the water fountain.

Cycling

The Ratsteich in Uelzen is a popular attraction for many citizens and guests. Children especially enjoy spending time by the water and visiting ducks and the like.
The Ratsteich is fed by the Ilmenau. It is dammed in the northern area, the outflow and overflow runs back into the Ilmenau under the Gudestor Bridge.
