Salzderhelden Flood Retention Basin

Highlight • Monument

Construction of the flood retention basin began in September 1972. Official commissioning took place in March 1994 after a successful trial full embankment. In total, around 30 km of dams were built, 2 million cubic meters of soil were moved, pumping stations and bridges were built. The central building is the 116 meter long final structure in Salzderhelden near Einbeck. It includes five segments. The middle three have segment weirs 15 meters long. All five segments are equipped with fish belly flaps for flood relief. Since 2000, operations have been optimized by a process control system in the control center and a computer-aided control and flood forecasting model.

Birdwatching Point at Leinepolder

Highlight • Viewpoint

In autumn and especially in winter, when other waters in the region are frozen over, geese and smews, as well as goldeneyes, are added to the flock, and in addition to the ubiquitous greylag and Egyptian geese, there are also large numbers of bean geese, white-fronted geese and occasionally barnacle geese. The latter are also called barnacle geese.

Beautiful hike. Stork watching. Unfortunately, the entire lakeside path isn't accessible by car ☹️.

July 24, 2024,716 - Einbecker Wolletour ohne Wolle

@Wolle Teicke Actually, this tour was intended for a personal meeting, but as is so often the case, man plans and God laughs (funny, that even rhymes somehow). We were already excited to hear his delicious rhymes, but he let himself be carried away somewhere else. Einbeck, with its half-timbered houses, is a beautiful, tranquil town, surrounded by wonderful nature …
