Several barrages have been built in the meantime and the banks have been renatured. For me, as an ignoramus, it looks very successful.

The Dalbek gorge is impressive. You can get through here quite well with a gravel bike, but you have to be careful, especially in autumn when you can't see the ground because of all the leaves. I love riding here!

The old gunpowder factory in Düneberg has existed since the late 19th century. Initially, it produced gunpowder, later also explosives for war. After 1945, the site was severely damaged. Because chemicals were used there for a long time, problems with the soil and groundwater persist to this day. In the late 1980s, more detailed investigations began. Some areas have been considered contaminated since then and require continued monitoring.
