Attractions and Places To See around Allersee - Top 16

Currently closed until the end of 2024 due to renovation.

Cycling, inline skating, hiking or just relaxing on one of the benches - everything is possible

A planetary trail is an educational path where a scaled-down model of the solar system is created along the hiking route. The planets and the sun are usually set up or shown on boards along the route, true to scale in size and distance. On the frequently used "planetary scale" of 1:1 billion (the sun has a diameter of 1.4 m, the earth 13 mm), the outermost planet Neptune is just under 4.5 kilometers from the sun. If the dwarf planet Pluto, which was considered a full-fledged planet until 2006, is also included, the planetary trail stretches for almost 6 kilometers. The nearest star would then be over 40,000 km away, which is the same as the circumference of the earth. There are usually information boards about the sun and planets with data on size, composition and orbit. The planets themselves are represented in various ways: as spheres made of metal, stone, wood or glass, as discs, hollows or reliefs, often as photos on display boards, supplemented by a small circle

At some points on the circular path around the Allersee there are models of the sun ☀️ and planets 🪐 of our solar system. The planets 🌍 are set up true to scale to the sun ☀️. Here you can perhaps imagine the dimensions. The information board gives detailed information about the solar system. It is very interesting!🧐

Volkswagen Arena The Volkswagen Arena is the football stadium of the men's Bundesliga team VfL Wolfsburg. It opened in autumn 2002 and has space for around 30,000 spectators. Construction took 18 months and cost 53 million euros. The first game in the Volkswagen Arena was played between VfL Wolfsburg and VfB Stuttgart. The club wanted to use the Volkswagen Arena to strengthen its international ambitions, particularly with regard to the Champions League. The Volkswagen Arena also offers event rooms for congresses, meetings and private parties.

History From 1954 to 1957, the boathouse of the Wolfsburg Canoe Club was built north of the Mittelland Canal; it was later expanded several times. In 1956, the "Heimatscholle" allotment garden was built on the site of today's Allerpark, and its clubhouse opened in 1957. By 1960, the campsite and the Nature Friends' home already existed. In 1962, the "Italian Village" was built west of the allotment garden as a housing development for single Italian guest workers; the two-story wooden barracks were demolished in 1978 and replaced by new buildings on the same site. Most recently, the buildings were used as the east office center of the Volkswagen factory; they were demolished to build the Volkswagen Arena. In 1962, the clubhouse of the Wolfsburg Marine Comradeship was also inaugurated on the north bank of the Mittelland Canal. In July 1958, the Wolfsburg City Council approved nine million DM for the planning of the Allerpark; on 26 March 1969, the Council gave its final approval.

The Allerpark is a public adventure park in Wolfsburg. It lies between the Wolfsburg towns of Neuhaus-Reislingen, Vorsfelde, Nordstadt and the city centre. Its centre is the Allersee, which was created at the end of the 1960s. The Allerpark is 130 hectares in size and is home to numerous leisure activities, including the AOK Stadium, the BadeLand, the Ice Arena and the Volkswagen Arena, as well as other freely accessible facilities such as beach volleyball courts, a skate park, outdoor fitness equipment and playgrounds. The Allerpark is marketed by Wolfsburg Wirtschaft und Marketing GmbH.

There is a lot going on here in the warm season, and rightly so, because the Allersee is beautifully landscaped. A walk around the lake is worthwhile; you should plan short detours in the Allerpark area. There is a lot to discover here, really worth seeing.
