The village church of Grafhorst is a small, typically rural church that shapes the village landscape of Grafhorst in Lower Saxony. Such village churches are often kept very simple, but have a special historical and communal value for the region. A short tip: When visiting, pay special attention to the quiet atmosphere inside and the often lovingly maintained details such as old woodwork or historical gravestones around the church. Especially in small villages, it is often worth taking a look at the surroundings of the church – it is usually the historical center of the village and tells a lot about the local history.

A good, realistic tip: Go onto one of the cycle and foot paths along the Mittellandkanal and find one of the road bridges (e.g. outside of Gifhorn towards Isenbüttel). From above you have the best view, especially when a ship passes or in the late afternoon with the sun low – then the canal appears surprisingly calm and spacious.

Ride calmly most of the time. Interesting is that the bridge is not in line with the road.

Without the canal, Wolfsburg would probably not exist in its current form. When the city and the Volkswagen factory were planned in the late 1930s, the connection to the Mittelland Canal was crucial for transporting coal for its own power plant and for the removal of manufactured vehicles.

Hey, unfortunately it's just not the Mittelland Canal. Best regards
