The Mittelland Canal is Europe's longest artificial waterway in Germany. It connects the Weser, Ems, and Rhine-Palatinate-Danube Canal, traverses flat, predominantly rural landscapes, and serves both commercial and recreational purposes. Ships navigate smoothly through wide canals, with locks, bridges, and green surroundings.

The Düsterdiek Lowlands are a landscape consisting of meadows, fields, and wooded areas. You'll hardly find a house or farm building here. You're alone with yourself and nature. Unfortunately, you'll also hardly find a bench or anything similar for a quiet break.

Due to the drought of the summer of 2018, the small Hopstener Aa, or Mühlen-Aa, dried up for several weeks. In August and September, due to the low water level, no water flowed over the weir on Rheiner Straße in Hopsten. All the water, which was already very small, flowed slightly upstream at the bifurcation into the Giegel Aa. In the dry riverbed, the fish gathered in the remaining pools and were rescued by the local fishing club through relocation.[5]

Preservation and development of undisturbed old reed beds with vegetation-free mudflats and wet bushes along still and flowing waters, wetlands and moors, the development of successional stages in the peripheral areas (e.g., wet bushes on vegetation-free or poor soils), but prevention of bush encroachment and forestation, careful reed mowing where necessary while maintaining a high proportion of old reeds, improvement of the water balance to stabilize a high groundwater level in wetlands, improvement of the food supply in the vicinity of the breeding sites (reduced fertilization, no pesticides), and avoidance of disturbances at the breeding sites from April to July
