Water temperature…
The twin town of Oebisfelde-Weferlingen is situated directly on the western border of Saxony-Anhalt with Lower Saxony and is divided into two historic centers heavily influenced by the Aller river system and the Drömling Nature Park. In Oebisfelde, the historic swamp castle (Sumpfburg), one of the oldest preserved moated castles in northern Germany, forms the architectural centerpiece. The curtain wall and the well-preserved defense towers testify to the former strategic importance of the settlement. Weferlingen, on the other hand, is overlooked by the Grauer Mac, the massive ruined tower of a former castle that dominates the townscape along the Aller. For a long time, life in both districts was determined by their location on the inner-German border; today, the Green Belt (Grünes Band) runs through here, a natural corridor on the former death strip that is handy for historical and nature-focused cycling tours. The nearby Drömling, with its hundreds of water ditches, provides a refuge for rare bird species such as the black stork and the crane. Visitors appreciate the quiet, agricultural atmosphere, which makes it possible to combine centuries-old castle architecture with the observation of intact wetland flora and fauna.
