If you take a closer look while riding, or are just wondering...the countless small pieces of glass permanently scattered on the bike path aren't the result of boozy Father's Day rides with handcarts, but rather...vast amounts of additional broken glass were actually used in the construction of the dams on both sides. However, the small pieces had previously been smoothed through recycling and were/are no longer sharp. Just pay attention; they're lying around everywhere.

Actually there isn't much to say. It's always good to drive along the canal and you can watch the ships.

A castle that doesn't look like that on the outside. But the castle was actually inhabited by nobles. It is located in a beautiful park surrounded by the water of the Aller, which flows directly past the castle!
