Great view of the canal. The paths by the water are great. I prefer riding there in the evening.

The ponds in Loccum are part of the historic monastery landscape and are located near Loccum Abbey. They are part of a system of ditches, canals, ponds, and streams that are related to the medieval monastery complex. These waters shape the landscape and are part of the "Kleiner Klosterlandschaftsweg" (Little Monastery Landscape Trail), which leads to these mysterious and enchanted places.

A deer enclosure well worth seeing. It's even worth a short detour, especially if you have children with you on a hike or bike ride. Where else can you get so close to our native fallow deer? Very nice, we all enjoyed it very much and we will definitely come back.

I always enjoy boating on the canal. Especially in the evenings when the weather is nice! It's quiet and not too crowded!

The Westaue is a small but significant river in the Wunstorf region of Lower Saxony. It rises west of the town and flows through the Wunstorf municipal area before emptying into the Leine River. Along its course, it shapes the landscape with its extensive lowlands, wet meadows, and floodplains, providing valuable habitat for numerous animal and plant species. The Westaue flows through districts such as Mesmerode, Bokeloh, and Luthe and is closely intertwined with the history and development of the town of Wunstorf. Particularly in the area between Wunstorf and Blumenau, the river presents itself in a scenic environment that is of great importance for both nature conservation and recreation. Walking and cycling paths run along the banks, inviting visitors to explore the floodplain landscape and offering residents a piece of nature right on their doorstep.

The Mittelland Canal is the longest artificial waterway in Germany and plays a central role in the European inland navigation network. It runs from the Dortmund-Ems Canal near Hörstel (North Rhine-Westphalia) to the Elbe River near Magdeburg (Saxony-Anhalt) and stretches for approximately 325 kilometers. The canal is one of the most important east-west connections for inland navigation in Germany. It links numerous rivers and canals, including the Rhine, the Weser, the Elbe, and, via further connections, the Oder. This allows for the transport of goods across northern Germany without ships being dependent on the fluctuating water levels of natural rivers. Bulk goods such as coal, ore, building materials, grain, and containers are primarily transported via the Mittelland Canal. It thus contributes significantly to relieving road and rail traffic and is a major factor for the economy and logistics in Germany.
