The Meerbruchwiesen are an important wetland on the Steinhuder Meer. They consist of wet meadows and offer an important habitat for many rare animal and plant species, especially meadow birds. Through conservation measures, biodiversity has been preserved and improved, so that the area is now part of the European Natura 2000 network.

A deer enclosure well worth seeing. It's even worth a short detour, especially if you have children with you on a hike or bike ride. Where else can you get so close to our native fallow deer? Very nice, we all enjoyed it very much and we will definitely come back.

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.
