The modern pedestrian bridge offers a beautiful view of the canal, the Volkswagen factory, and the Autostadt, and was recently attractively enhanced with seating and greenery.

The Allerwiesen nature trail is a wonderful destination for anyone looking for a short break in the green and wanting to learn something about the local flora and fauna at the same time. It is located in the idyllic river landscape of the Aller, mostly near Wolfsburg or in the adjacent Gifhorn district.

The Allerwiesen near Vorsfelde are an impressive example of how nature and flood protection can go hand in hand. When you go for a walk there, you will encounter a landscape that is constantly changing – shaped by the water of the Aller river and a flora that loves precisely this “wet element”.

The Wendschotter Bridge is far more than just a functional structure – it is a distinctive landmark in the northeast of Wolfsburg and an important connection point on the Mittelland Canal. The bridge immediately catches the eye with its modern tied-arch construction. Particularly striking is the white, curved steel arch that spans the roadway. This design not only ensures stability but also lends the structure a certain lightness that integrates well with the surrounding waterscape.

The Autostadt towers (officially the vehicle towers) are the highly visible "lighthouses" of Wolfsburg. They are 48 meters high, consist of a glass-steel construction and are the fully automatic high-bay warehouse for new cars that come directly from the adjacent VW plant.
