일세데 최고의 라이딩 경로

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

Beautiful church, but the old rectory opposite is also beautiful.

Between Vallstedt and Köchingen there is one of the few decent cycle paths in the area.

⚓ 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.

Right next to the church you will find by far the best ice cream in the region...😉

beautiful connecting path without much traffic and without road markings

If you have a fall, you even pass right by the hospital....
