Tips from the Community

Togro
March 19, 2026, Elbe Lateral Canal

The Elbe-Seitenkanal (ESK), often reverently or jokingly called "Heide-Suez" by locals in the Gifhorn/Uelzen region, is one of Germany's most important artificial waterways. It connects the Mittellandkanal near Wolfsburg with the Elbe near Artlenburg.

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.

Interestingly, the monastery is still inhabited by some elderly ladies.

Remote, quiet, nature is left to its own devices here. Getting off your bike is definitely worth it.
