The Elbe-Seitenkanal (ESK) is one of the most important artificial waterways in Northern Germany. It connects the Mittellandkanal near Wolfsburg with the Elbe near Artlenburg (near Lüneburg) and serves as a powerful shortcut for inland navigation between the Port of Hamburg and the hinterland.

The harbor basin is directly connected to the Mittellandkanal. This was one of the main reasons why the plant was built at this exact location at the end of the 1930s. To this day, important raw materials (especially coal for the plant's own power stations) and components are delivered via the canal. Even though the majority of vehicle logistics are now handled by rail and road, the waterway remains a strategic advantage of the site.

The Tankumsee near Isenbüttel (Gifhorn district) is essentially the "big sibling" of the Bernsteinsee in Stüde. With approximately 62 hectares of water surface, it is significantly larger and one of the most well-known local recreation destinations in the entire region between Wolfsburg, Gifhorn and Braunschweig. The Tankumsee is famous for its approximately 1,000-meter-long, fine sandy beach. This creates a real vacation feeling in the summer.
