Tips from the Community
A deer enclosure well worth seeing. It's even worth a short detour, especially if you have children with you on a hike or bike ride. Where else can you get so close to our native fallow deer? Very nice, we all enjoyed it very much and we will definitely come back.

I generally enjoy cycling along the canal. The roads aren't quite as scenic, but they get significantly better toward Hanover.

The Mittelland Canal is one of Germany's most important waterways, the longest man-made structure of its kind in the country, and forms the heart of the east-west shipping connection from the Rhine to the Oder. Anyone traveling Europe by ship and wanting to travel to the Spree by boat, or vice versa via Berlin, will navigate the Mittelland Canal. Quite a few ships do so. The Mittelland Canal itself begins near Hörstel in North Rhine-Westphalia as a branch of the Dortmund-Ems Canal and extends to Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt, where it joins the Elbe-Havel Canal on the Elbe.

After a long search, we finally found this bench, and thanks to its location, we think it's a highlight. With a view of the Mittelland Canal, you can relax and, if you like, wave to the passing ships.
