The St. Nicolai Church in Rethen (Vordorf municipality, Gifhorn district) is a charming village church with a long history dating back to the Middle Ages. The original nave became too small around 1900. The present building was rebuilt in 1901 in the neo-Gothic style according to plans by the architect Eduard Wendebourg.

Great steel bridge construction that you can also drive over yourself with a view through the gridiron.

Three cool jumps, the last one a bit harder but still manageable.

Railway bridge, but the bridge can also be crossed by bike or on foot. But be careful, open gratings below -- not for people who are afraid of heights.

If you design the loop through the trail network in the Eickhorster Forest accordingly, the trail is easy to take with you. Otherwise, the long trail to the east is more worthwhile.
