This lake is not far from the motorway. You can park on a road with lots of potholes and take a short break or let the dog run around for a bit. The lake is crystal clear with fry and frogs.

The castle pond is beautiful, but you should take a closer look at the town of Ahlden if you are a lover of bricks.

direct access to the banks of the Leine does not seem to be possible, as the private meadow with a locked gate does not allow passage - the various seats on the way between Leine and Schwarmstedt are recommended.
