ヴェンデブルクのおすすめMTBライド

ギフホルン郡の自然愛好家や日帰り旅行者にとって、よく知られた地元のハイライトです。ディダーゼ近郊の自然保護区（NSG）オケラウエに位置し、この地域で最も牧歌的な川の眺めを提供しています。橋からは、穏やかに流れるオーカー川と隣接する氾濫原の景色を一望できます。水、密集した河畔の植生、そして橋のすぐ隣にあることが多い隣接する馬の放牧地の組み合わせが特に魅力的です。

Cycling along the canal is always great. Sheltered from the wind and no hills 😉

⚓ Special Structures Since the branch canal diverges from the Mittelland Canal and heads towards higher ground, two significant differences in elevation must be overcome: Wedtlenstedt Lock at the beginning of the canal, with a drop of 9.30 meters. Üfingen Lock, located shortly before the Salzgitter harbor, also overcomes a drop of 9.30 meters. The canal ends in a large harbor basin in Salzgitter, spanned by a canal bridge built in 1957 over the Oker River. The banks of the canal are largely lined with embankments and serve as a recreational area for anglers, cyclists, and walkers.

🏭 Purpose and History The canal was built in the 1930s as part of the National Socialist industrialization policy to supply the Hermann Göring Works (today Salzgitter AG) with raw materials and to transport finished products. To this day, it serves as a central waterway connection for the Salzgitter region and is essential for the transport of coal, ores, steel products, and other goods.

🏗️🚢 The visitor platform at the Wedtlenstedt lock in the municipality of Vechelde (Lower Saxony) was set up as part of the ongoing replacement construction of the lock on the Salzgitter Branch Canal (SKS) to give interested parties an insight into this major project. The Wedtlenstedt lock is being modernized to make the Salzgitter Branch Canal navigable for modern, larger cargo ships (large motor cargo vessels) with a draft of 2.80 m.

Cool trail between Gifhorn and the campsites at the gravel pits near Wilsche.

Be careful of oncoming traffic! The road is very narrow!

A church that's constantly growing! 👍😉 But also needs care!
