The lock was a massive construction project from the 1930s. The original construction costs for the North Lock were around 6.25 million Reichsmarks. For comparison: the modern new South Lock, including the adaptation of the approach channels, cost around 70 million euros.

The Sülfeld lock group in the Wolfsburg district of Sülfeld is an impressive example of German engineering and a central hub on the Mittelland Canal (kilometer 237). It connects the higher-lying "summit level" with the "eastern level" in the direction of the Elbe. The original south chamber was dilapidated and too narrow for modern ships. It was demolished and replaced by a new construction, which was opened in 2008 after four years of construction.

The Autostadt in Wolfsburg is far more than just a delivery center for new cars – it is a 28-hectare theme and experience park of the Volkswagen Group, combining technology, design, and lifestyle.

The power plant, with its four giant chimneys (each approx. 125 meters high), shapes the skyline of Wolfsburg. It was built in the style of industrial modernism and visually resembles a "cathedral of labor". Especially at night, it is a real eye-catcher due to the striking illumination of the towers.

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.

Around the Ilkerbruch nature reserve, one of the best-developed and, at the same time, most natural cycling networks in the Wolfsburg/Gifhorn region awaits you. Since the area is largely waterlogged, the paths often lead on dams or along canals, which offers you a great overview.
