March 21, 2026, Birdwatching Hide Ilkerbruch (NABU Observation Hut)

The observation hut in Ilkerbruch is an absolute highlight for nature lovers and photographers in the region. The Ilkerbruch nature reserve is an important stepping stone for the biotope network between the Barnbruch and the Aller, and the hut offers you the opportunity to experience the local wildlife up close without disturbing it.

The Maikampsee is an artificially created body of water directly on the Osttangente (K 114), southeast of Gifhorn. Although it is not an official bathing lake like the Tankumsee, it has its own importance for nature and local recreation in the region. The lake was created - like many bodies of water in the area - by gravel mining. The sand and gravel were needed, among other things, for the construction of the surrounding roads (such as the Osttangente itself).

The Gifhorn Water Trail is a relaxing circular tour that brings the theme of water to life in and around the mill town. It connects the historic old town with the surrounding lakes and rivers.

Tiny overnight cabins at a hefty price. Zero privacy. But delightful to look at 😉
