Tips from the Community

April 13, 2026, Jorgos am Kanal

The restaurant is located directly on the Mittellandkanal in the municipality of Rühen (near Wolfsburg-Vorsfelde). The outdoor area is particularly popular in summer, as you can sit directly on the bank and watch the ships go by. It is considered cozy and down-to-earth, often like a classic club-house restaurant (it is located directly at the sports field of SV Blau-Weiß Rühen) with a maritime flair due to its canal location.

The duck pond near Vorsfelde (often mentioned in connection with the Wendschott district or the Drömling) is a local body of water in Wolfsburg, located immediately north of the Mittelland Canal. It is part of an area that is important for both anglers and walkers. The pond is situated near the Allerdükers, which is the point where the river Aller is channeled under the Mittelland Canal. It lies nestled in the meadow landscape between the canal and the Vorsfelder Drömling. The area is characterized by canal dams, old trees, and walking paths that connect Vorsfelde with Wendschott.

The Allersee is the heart of the Allerpark in Wolfsburg and one of the region's most popular recreational areas. It is an artificially created lake that originated in the late 1960s during a diversion of the Aller river.

The Drömling, often referred to as the „Land of a Thousand Ditches“, is a fascinating low moor landscape on the border between Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony. Since 2023, the Drömling officially bears the title UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Previously, it had already been recognized as a national biosphere reserve (according to state law of Saxony-Anhalt) since 2019.

The Nördliche Drömling is an important nature reserve in the Gifhorn district, Lower Saxony. It is part of the larger lowland moor landscape of the Drömling, which has been recognized as a cross-border UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2023. The area is located in the municipalities of Parsau, Rühen, and the municipality-free area of Giebel. It is an extremely sparsely populated lowland landscape that captivates with its vastness and tranquility. The region is also called the "land of a thousand ditches", as it is crisscrossed by a dense network of artificial drainage channels and rivers (like the Ohre).

The Giebelmoor is a fascinating nature reserve in eastern Lower Saxony (Gifhorn district), which is considered an ecological bridge between Western and Eastern Europe. It is part of the larger Drömling wetland and is characterized by its primeval forest-like structures.

The Inner German Border Memorial Kaiserwinkel–Jahrstedt is an impressive place of remembrance that documents the former division of Germany between Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.

The Böckwitz-Zicherie border monument is a particularly moving site in recent German history. It commemorates the decades-long division of Germany and the absurd situation of a village that was literally torn apart by the border.
