The Rittergut in Ribbesbüttel is worth seeing...

The Oker rapids near Hillerse are one of the most scenic and dynamic sections of the river between Braunschweig and its mouth in the Aller. Here, the Oker shows a face that one would hardly expect in the otherwise rather leisurely lowlands. Near Hillerse, the Oker overcomes a slight terrain step. The water gains speed, breaks on stones and gravel banks and begins to bubble.

Currently, the route is covered in fine "Gucci" gravel. Nice ride and passable surroundings.
