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

A resting place with nature information in the Ohre-Drömling nature reserve is typically a small, naturally designed stopping point within the wide lowland landscape of the Naturpark Drömling. These resting places are not only intended for rest, but primarily serve to make the special landscape and its flora and fauna understandable.

The forest path between Neuhaus and Danndorf leads through the Hehlinger Holz – a quiet forest area on the eastern edge of Wolfsburg. The path is popular with walkers, hikers, and cyclists as it is mostly level and lined with tall pines, beeches, and oaks. Especially on warm days, the forest provides pleasant shade and invites you to enjoy nature in peace.

The Wasserburg Neuhaus is a well-preserved historic moated castle in northern Germany and a beautiful example of medieval architecture.

The Aller near Grafhorst is a quiet stretch of the Aller river (river), which is particularly suitable for walks and nature observation.

Good cycle paths. Suitable for children. Better to bring food and drinks. Castle visit only possible from the outside.

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.
