The Bannetze Lock on the Aller River is a historically significant lock dating from the early 20th century and is one of the few remaining lock systems along the Aller. It is still technically functional and has been self-operated since 1999 – recreational boats can pass through it independently at the push of a button. The lock is freely accessible and located directly on the Aller Cycle Path, making it a popular stop for cyclists. Information panels on site provide insights into the history and operation of the lock, which remains a striking technical monument in a natural setting.

In Hornbostel, a stork's nest has been used annually since 1999 on the chimney of the former Segelke bakery at Helene-Segelke-Platz. Over the years, this spot has become a permanent breeding site. A male stork has been returning reliably for over 15 years, accompanied by a female that has also been nesting at the same location for more than a decade.

In Hornbostel, there is a stork's nest on the chimney of the former Segelke bakery at Helene-Segelke-Platz, which has been used annually since 1999. The nest has established itself as a permanent breeding site. For over 15 years, the same male has returned regularly, accompanied by a female who has remained loyal to him for more than a decade. The surrounding area, with its wet meadows and the nearby Aller lowlands, offers ideal living conditions for white storks. Here, they find abundant food such as frogs, insects, and small mammals. Especially in spring and summer, the storks' activities can be easily observed – from nest building to incubation to the rearing of their young. For cyclists or walkers, for example, on the Aller cycle path, the stork's nest in Hornbostel is a worthwhile stopover and a nature-based experience.

Construction of the Bannetzer Lock began in 1909. The lock was put into operation in 1912.
