May 1, 2026, View of Wilhelmstein Island

The island of Wilhelmstein is an artificially created island in the Steinhuder Meer. It was built in the 18th century by Wilhelm zu Schaumburg-Lippe as a fortress to protect and militarily secure the area. Today, the island is a popular excursion destination with a museum and offers visitors insights into its history as well as a special view over the lake.

February 13, 2026, Königsworther Brücke

The Königsworth Bridge is arguably one of the most beautiful in all of Hanover. This segmental arch bridge, faced with natural stone, was built towards the end of the 19th century. Particularly unique are the sea creatures with their lavish ornamentation, sculpted by Carl Dopmeyer – a fantastic relic of urban grandeur from the fin de siècle.

The Westaue is a small but significant river in the Wunstorf region of Lower Saxony. It rises west of the town and flows through the Wunstorf municipal area before emptying into the Leine River. Along its course, it shapes the landscape with its extensive lowlands, wet meadows, and floodplains, providing valuable habitat for numerous animal and plant species. The Westaue flows through districts such as Mesmerode, Bokeloh, and Luthe and is closely intertwined with the history and development of the town of Wunstorf. Particularly in the area between Wunstorf and Blumenau, the river presents itself in a scenic environment that is of great importance for both nature conservation and recreation. Walking and cycling paths run along the banks, inviting visitors to explore the floodplain landscape and offering residents a piece of nature right on their doorstep.

The mouth of the Fösse River is located in the Limmer district of Hanover, where the small river flows into the Leine after about 8 km – very close to the Leine Connection Canal. The Fösse River is a rather inconspicuous but ecologically interesting body of water. Due to saline inflows from the Benth salt dome and former potash mining dumps, it has an unusually high salinity – in some places even higher than that of the North Sea.
