The Elbe-Seitenkanal (ESK) is one of the most important artificial waterways in Northern Germany. It connects the Mittelland Canal near Wolfsburg (Sülfeld) with the Elbe near Artlenburg (near Lüneburg). The canal was opened in 1976 and is approximately 115 kilometers long. It was built to make Elbe shipping independent of the fluctuating water levels of the Elbe and the former inner-German border.

The cycle path is of good quality, the B188 has a lot of traffic (about 90% by vehicles of the well-known VW brands 😅).

Coming from Gifhorn, the cycle path along the B188 begins here, and it's of good quality here. Traffic is heavy on the B188 - you'll find quieter riding elsewhere ;-)

It's a beautiful park with lots of information for all ages. To see the animals, you should attend feedings, as these shy creatures are otherwise in hiding.
