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).
