The ponds in Loccum are part of the historic monastery landscape and are located near Loccum Abbey. They are part of a system of ditches, canals, ponds, and streams that are related to the medieval monastery complex. These waters shape the landscape and are part of the "Kleiner Klosterlandschaftsweg" (Little Monastery Landscape Trail), which leads to these mysterious and enchanted places.

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 always a good option!" 😉 The roads here are also much better and easier to navigate.
