20의 렝게데가지 명소 & 주요 장소

⚓ 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.

From here you can easily observe and photograph the ships 👍

Good residential area, most properties with direct access to the water.

really nice here, the great castle, the beautiful park with the pond, a visit is definitely worth it.

Tranquil canal with bike path. Unfortunately, this is currently (06/2023) closed.

We were out and about here very early, there wasn't that much going on and you could still drive well and enjoy the route. Later, however, the path filled up noticeably, I would not cycle here in the afternoon. On this side, however, there was significantly less going on than on the opposite side.

Indispensable for me on bike tours!
