A nice place, but the last few meters should be covered on foot.

Velpker Kiessee

Highlight • Beach

According to the fishing club, swimming is prohibited due to climbing plants. I walked 25 meters into the lake as far as I could stand. The ground is soft, with a few stones and branches. In other places, the ground drops more steeply, and in some places I can no longer stand after 5 or 10 meters.

Former Schandelah–Oebisfelde Railway Line

Highlight • Historical Site

The tracks and other relics of the former Schandelah–Oebisfelde railway line are still here. Passenger traffic was initially discontinued after the division of Germany. From 1953 to 1975, passenger services resumed just before the border. Goods were still transported to the Klein Twülpstedt sugar factory until 1987.
