To prevent the entire canal section from leaking in the event of damage, safety gates have been installed in the canal at Wasbüttel (km 0.97), Osloß (km 9.72), Wieren (km 56.32), and Erbstorf (km 103.72). Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbe-Seitenkanal

The Hardau flows directly along the mill pond. A bridge, a pedalo system and comfortable benches invite you to linger and enjoy the view of the mill pond.

A memorial stone with an inscription on the Lüßberg commemorates the great hurricane Quimburga of November 13, 1972. According to the inscription, this had destroyed “320,000 cubic meters in the area of the Lüß Forestry Office,” which “corresponded to 15 times the normal annual felling.”
