This beautiful recreational area on the outskirts of Vienenburg was created through the renaturation of a former gravel mining area. A walking, hiking and cycling path with rest benches runs around the lake, from which branches also lead across the Oker into the Harly.
Once a year - usually in August - the Vienenburger Seefest takes place.

Here you can take very nice hikes. The Wöltingerode monastery is also not far and is worth a visit

In good light, the large lake actually impresses with its clear, turquoise blue water!

😎Gravel has been mined in what is now Lake Vienenburg since the 1920s, mainly by the company August Sievers & Co. They also operated a gravel pit in the area of today's lake. A floating excavator was also used for this purpose, which could dig up to nine meters deep. In the following decades, gravel mining was expanded to the areas south of Wöltingerode, mining in the lake area was stopped in 1964 and the company declared bankruptcy in 1971. It left behind an almost 15-hectare devastated area with waterholes and numerous unsecured, steep banks up to seven meters high on the outskirts of the town, which were already being used as a garbage dump. The city of Vienenburg was interested in recultivating the area, suggested the development of a landscape conservation plan and bought the site and adjacent meadows from the Wöltingerode monastery. In 1974, the site was formally declared a redevelopment area with the approval of the then district president in Braunschweig. The construction of the later A 36 motorway directly on Harly around 1972 benefited the project in that it covered the high demand for gravel from Lake Vienenburg and at the same time profiled the landscape. Steep coasts were flattened and shore zones were created. The surface was partially covered with mud and planted. The lake got its current shape.

Simply a lovely walk around Lake Vienenburg at any time of year. Benches invite you to sit down and relax.

The Vienenburger See is an artificially created lake in the Goslar district of Vienenburg in Lower Saxony.
It is traversed by the Hurlebach, which flows into the Oker below the lake.
