A great path around the lake and of course further on with great experiences by the water for big and small… especially in summer…

The Elbe-Seitenkanal at Tankumsee is really good for a short break in nature. Right next to it is the beautiful combination of waterway and recreational area – perfect for walking, cycling, or simply switching off. The canal appears calm, but ships still pass by regularly, giving it a special "industry in nature" charm.

The adventure tower at Tankumsee is a really good destination for everyone who likes action and nature. The climbing tower offers several levels with different difficulty degrees, so both beginners and experienced climbers will get their money's worth. Particularly exciting are the zipline over the lake and the giant swing at a lofty height, which provide extra adrenaline.

The sunset at Tankumsee is particularly beautiful on the west bank or around the open shore areas. You have a clear view of the lake there, and the light often reflects very intensely on the water's surface – especially in calm weather, it looks really atmospheric.

The Elbe-Seitenkanal (ESK) is one of the most important artificial waterways in northern Germany. It connects the Elbe (near Artlenburg/Lauenburg) with the Mittellandkanal (near Wolfsburg) and primarily serves as a reliable hinterland connection for the port of Hamburg.
