Top 20 Lakes around Schladen-Werla

Vienenburgersee with festival meadow for the lake festival in August.

The approximately two-hectare city moat is located in the heart of Wolfenbüttel. The body of water, which is the size of two large football stadiums, is used for a variety of purposes, which, however, also results in a lack of suitable refuges for rare (aquatic) animals and plants. And: Feeding waterfowl, as well as branches falling into the city moat, results in too many nutrients in the water. This has a negative impact on water quality and aquatic organisms, says Udo Berger, chairman of the angling club. The club has now implemented a joint project with the city of Wolfenbüttel to counteract these disadvantages for the local flora and fauna. For years, the angling club has been working to maintain and preserve native fish stocks in Wolfenbüttel's city moat. A few days ago, the club created two more floating islands in the city moat. One island was already installed last year.

The approximately two-hectare city moat is located in the heart of the city of Wolfenbüttel. As a central park body of water, the pond provides a valuable recreational space for various user groups. However, the diverse use of the water body also results in a lack of suitable refuges for rarer (aquatic) animals and plants, and the nutrient load in the water body is constantly increasing due to uncontrolled feeding of waterfowl, which has a negative impact on water quality and aquatic organisms (such as fish and aquatic insects). The installation of the floating islands is intended to promote biodiversity – across all species groups – in this heavily used park body of water by providing suitable habitats and refuges.

Simply a lovely walk around Lake Vienenburg at any time of year. Benches invite you to sit down and relax.

Stamp box by the water. There is also a place to stop for refreshments here.

Vienenburg is definitely worth a visit. The waters here are beautifully clear and the train station with the railway museum is also well worth seeing - a pretty town in the Harz foothills.

Beautiful complex with a great playground and plenty of rest areas as well as a restaurant with a lake view. A visit is worth it at any time of the year.

😎Gravel has been mined in what is now Lake Vienenburg since the 1920s, mainly by the company August Sievers & Co. They also operated a gravel pit in the area of today's lake. A floating excavator was also used for this purpose, which could dig up to nine meters deep. In the following decades, gravel mining was expanded to the areas south of Wöltingerode, mining in the lake area was stopped in 1964 and the company declared bankruptcy in 1971. It left behind an almost 15-hectare devastated area with waterholes and numerous unsecured, steep banks up to seven meters high on the outskirts of the town, which were already being used as a garbage dump. The city of Vienenburg was interested in recultivating the area, suggested the development of a landscape conservation plan and bought the site and adjacent meadows from the Wöltingerode monastery. In 1974, the site was formally declared a redevelopment area with the approval of the then district president in Braunschweig. The construction of the later A 36 motorway directly on Harly around 1972 benefited the project in that it covered the high demand for gravel from Lake Vienenburg and at the same time profiled the landscape. Steep coasts were flattened and shore zones were created. The surface was partially covered with mud and planted. The lake got its current shape. Source: dewiki.de
