アイッケローのおすすめツーリングルート

とても素敵なサイクリングロード

Main route from Allerweg runs along the railway embankment, this is a good alternative close to the Aller.

The Aller Bridge near Essel offers cyclists a safe and scenic way to cross the river. The new bridge, built around 2010, replaces the old bridge from 1926 and features a dedicated cycle and pedestrian path that separates traffic from motor traffic. During the crossing, the view opens up over the Aller and the surrounding river landscape with its expansive meadows and floodplains, conveying a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. With its modern design and improved alignment, the bridge not only contributes to traffic safety but also makes cycling through the region more pleasant and varied. Its solid construction provides a precautionary measure: Even the heaviest loads, such as agricultural vehicles, heavy goods vehicles, or, in an emergency, military vehicles, can cross the bridge – an added bonus for safety and sustainability.

Driving toward it, the bridge certainly looks quite impressive (even though it's just a bridge). The completion of the 137-meter-long new bridge also represents an investment in traffic safety, as the new alignment will improve visibility along the entire stretch of road and enable safer pedestrian and bicycle traffic. The entire new section is approximately 630 meters long. Construction costs amount to a good six million euros, including almost five million euros for bridge construction. The project is being financed equally by the state and the European Regional Development Fund.

Between 1941 and 1970, oil was produced in Hademstorf, a total of around 160,000 tons. The oil lay at a depth of about 1,000 meters and was pumped to the surface using horsehead pumps. During World War II, production rose rapidly from a few hundred tons to over 10,000 tons per year. After the war, Vacuum-Oil AG organized transport, initially via the Aller River, and later by rail. The operation brought many workers to the village and left a strong mark on the community. Today, only the preserved horsehead pumps, the oil bridge, and the workers' houses on the Hansa Dam remain as reminders of this era.

Top drivability and little traffic

This is a fantastic feature on long tours of over 100 kilometers. It's a good feeling to recharge a little and reach your destination in a relaxed manner.

Seemingly endless paths with intensely fragrant Scots pines.
