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.

Approximately 2,200 kilometers of waterways run through the Drömling region, which is why it is also called the "Land of a Thousand Ditches." The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve provides a habitat for numerous rare and endangered animal and plant species. The area of the biosphere reserve extends over 450 square kilometers from the southwestern edge of the Altmark region along the Mittelland Canal to the northwest of Saxony-Anhalt. In addition to the waterways, the landscape is characterized by deciduous forests, meadows, fields, and moors.
