Tips from the Community
The Drömling, a cross-border biosphere reserve between Saxony-Anhalt and Lower Saxony, is a true paradise for nature observers. The observation huts near Politz and in Hegholz are absolute highlights for anyone who wants to experience rare bird species in peace.

The Lütje Moor and the adjacent Celler Wiesen near Croya (municipality Parsau, Lower Saxony) are fascinating relics of a once much more extensive moor and heath landscape on the edge of the Drömling.

The Maikampsee is an artificially created body of water directly on the Osttangente (K 114), southeast of Gifhorn. Although it is not an official bathing lake like the Tankumsee, it has its own importance for nature and local recreation in the region. The lake was created - like many bodies of water in the area - by gravel mining. The sand and gravel were needed, among other things, for the construction of the surrounding roads (such as the Osttangente itself).

Tiny overnight cabins at a hefty price. Zero privacy. But delightful to look at 😉
