Hercyniaweg Footbridge over the Oker at Vienenburg Lake

Highlight • Bridge

The Hercyniawegbrücke leads north-west of the Vienenburger See over the Oker. The new wooden bridge replaces its predecessor, which has been closed for safety reasons since 2015 due to its dilapidated wooden superstructure and the lack of support from railway tracks.
The bridge is a total of 23 meters long. The two parts were delivered by a specialist company from Schüttorf, 300 km away, then welded together on their main girders and lifted as a whole onto the new foundations with a crane.

Vienenburger Lake

Highlight • Lake

Here the north bank: The renaturation of a former gravel mining area resulted in this beautiful local recreation area on the outskirts of Vienenburg. A walking, hiking and cycling path with rest benches runs around the lake, from which branches also lead across the Oker into the Harly.
Once a year - usually in August - the Vienenburger Seefest takes place, but then the “party mile” is on the west bank.
