With a bit of luck, you can observe kingfishers here. Today, many fish (roaches?) of small and large sizes were visible.

The Drömling has something magical. It always draws me back there. Everything seems so decelerated. You notice that already when you talk to locals.

The restaurant is located directly on the Mittellandkanal in the municipality of Rühen (near Wolfsburg-Vorsfelde). The outdoor area is particularly popular in summer, as you can sit directly on the bank and watch the ships go by. It is considered cozy and down-to-earth, often like a classic club-house restaurant (it is located directly at the sports field of SV Blau-Weiß Rühen) with a maritime flair due to its canal location.
