Togro
March 21, 2026, Aller Canal Bridge Barnbruch East

The Aller Canal is an artificial body of water that forms an exciting bridge between Wolfsburg and Gifhorn. It is not a purely natural river, but an impressive testament to 19th-century hydraulic engineering. The canal was dug between 1860 and 1863 to protect the agricultural areas in the Barnbruch from the Aller's floods.

The path continues towards Osloß over the bridge or straight ahead to the Tankumsee.

New junction system with 400 junctions in the southern heath. With the junction system you always know where you are going. Wherever two cycle paths cross, there is a junction. Each point has been given a number between 01 and 99. At each point you can spontaneously decide which place or sight you want to explore and how far it is. The signposting means you won't get off the right path even without maps. At each junction there is an information board with the current location and the nearest junction. Plan your own tour With the help of the junctions you can plan your own tour at home. Simply write down the junction numbers of the route you want on a piece of paper and cycle along it. Or you can use the interactive map from Fietsknoop to plan your tour. Click on the junctions you want to cycle to. The distance from junction to junction and the total number of kilometers are then calculated. You can either write down the junction numbers and the route, print them out or download them as a GPS track. according to info suedheide-gifhorn.de/urlaubsthemen/radfahren/knotenpunkte.
