스타인후드 호수 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

I thought this mural was great.

I always enjoy boating on the canal. Especially in the evenings when the weather is nice! It's quiet and not too crowded!

The Leine River has shaped the landscape and history of the region for centuries. It rises in the Eichsfeld region south of Göttingen and flows approximately 280 kilometers northwards until it empties into the Aller River near Schwarmstedt. Along its course, it traverses fertile floodplains, rolling hills, and several important cities – most notably Göttingen and Hanover, where it meanders peacefully through parks and green spaces.

The Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany and plays a central role in the European inland navigation network. It runs from the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Hörstel (North Rhine-Westphalia) to the Elbe River near Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt) and stretches for approximately 325 kilometers. The canal is one of the most important east-west connections for inland navigation in Germany. It links numerous rivers and canals, including the Rhine, the Weser, the Elbe, and, via further connections, the Oder. This allows for the transport of goods across northern Germany without ships being dependent on the fluctuating water levels of natural rivers. Bulk goods such as coal, ore, building materials, grain, and containers are primarily transported via the Mittelland Canal. It thus contributes significantly to relieving road and rail traffic and is a major factor for the economy and logistics in Germany.

Great view of the canal

Great place to admire ships

Always worth a bike tour

Despite the gravel, it's a great bike path when it's dry 🚴‍♂️👍
