The Ratsteich was originally created by damming an arm of the Ilmenau as part of fortification measures. Today, the Ratsteich is a popular tourist destination: there are restaurants here, you can stroll through the park and relax on the benches. The Ratsteich meadow is also a popular place to play. I particularly liked the water fountain.

Oldenstädter See near Uelzen. The quarry lake was created during the construction of the Mittelland Canal and is now ideal for swimming, fishing and water sports. There is a hiking trail around it and opportunities to stop for refreshments (at least in summer).

Dirt bike track at the O-See. Sporting challenge with different levels of difficulty. Dirt biking is a trend sport that has everything - thrill, concentration, speed, nature. You ride dirt bikes - a mixture of BMX and mountain bikes - or with "classic" BMX bikes and mountain bikes. The dirt bike track at the O-See offers a lot of fun and very special challenges: It consists of a five-meter-high starting hill with routes (dirt lines) of various levels of difficulty, which you race over at a rapid pace. The network of several lanes with up to 1.70 meter high mounds of earth (dirt tables) and a pump track, a circular course with small waves and steep curves, can be combined in different ways. - https://kts-uelzen.de/stadtmarketing/aktiv-vital/dirt-bike-bahn/
