One should not expect too much from Hannover's harbor. But what these cranes are shipping away is quite a sight.

The Wietzesee, also called Hastrasee, is a 29-hectare gravel pit lake. Gravel is mined here.

The Tannenbergallee Bridge over the Mittelland Canal is a real insider tip in Hanover. From here, you have a wonderful view of the canal, especially as the sun sets over the horizon in the evening. ✨ Whether it's a romantic date, a small picnic, or simply a relaxing moment after a day's sightseeing – the atmosphere here is unique. The passing boats and the reflection of the sun in the water make this place truly special.

The POI is set at Hannover Langenhagen Airport, not at Wunstorf Air Base.

Near the North Harbor you have a great view of the Mittelland Canal. I'm always amazed at how beautifully green the banks are.
