To prevent the entire canal section from leaking in the event of damage, safety gates have been installed in the canal at Wasbüttel (km 0.97), Osloß (km 9.72), Wieren (km 56.32), and Erbstorf (km 103.72). Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbe-Seitenkanal

The small St. John's Chapel in Bokel was built in 1471 and is dedicated to St. John the Baptist. It is considered one of the oldest surviving buildings in the region and exemplifies the simple yet impressive brick Gothic style of the North German region.

Nice place for a coffee break.

One of the few cafés that's also open on Mondays! There's a small lunch menu (12-3 p.m.) with things like schnitzel or currywurst; otherwise, they serve coffee and cake. I passed the time waiting by paying an extra €5 to walk through the amazingly large garden (children under 12 would have been free). That seemed like a steep price at first, but the garden is beautiful, blooming, and buzzing with life. I was pretty impressed and thought it was definitely worth the entrance fee. There's a playground for the little ones, grandma and grandpa can easily navigate the paths with their walkers, and there are plenty of benches. There are also lots of carved animals to discover – really lovely, so I didn't mind the not-so-great cake 😁

It's a beautiful park with lots of information for all ages. To see the animals, you should attend feedings, as these shy creatures are otherwise in hiding.
