Between Rätzlingen and Velpke, a small tip for the journey is particularly worthwhile: Don't just stick to the 'from A to B' route, but take time for the quiet transitions between landscape and railway. It is precisely where old railway tracks, field paths, and open meadows meet, that flower meadows and wide railway views alternate in an almost surprisingly calm manner. In spring and summer, the grasses grow tall, often accompanied by wildflowers – and just a few steps away, the tracks of former or still used railway lines run straight through the landscape.

The village church of Grafhorst is a small, typically rural church that shapes the village landscape of Grafhorst in Lower Saxony. Such village churches are often kept very simple, but have a special historical and communal value for the region. A short tip: When visiting, pay special attention to the quiet atmosphere inside and the often lovingly maintained details such as old woodwork or historical gravestones around the church. Especially in small villages, it is often worth taking a look at the surroundings of the church – it is usually the historical center of the village and tells a lot about the local history.

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.

Without the canal, Wolfsburg would probably not exist in its current form. When the city and the Volkswagen factory were planned in the late 1930s, the connection to the Mittelland Canal was crucial for transporting coal for its own power plant and for the removal of manufactured vehicles.
