Wolfenbüttel Waterways Cultural Route

Wolfenbüttel was once criss-crossed by a network of channels and navigable canals. Traders and craftsmen used these waterways and numerous water mills and saw mills utilised the free energy of the Oker river. The lives of the citizens took place by and with the water. Experience this exciting piece of cultural heritage, laid out by Dutch civil engineers between the 15th and 18th centuries, through the Wolfenbüttel waterways cultural route.

Nowadays, with a few exceptions, Wolfenbüttel’s waterways have largely disappeared. A signposted circular tour explains the former situation and the layout of the trenches and canals within the town. A guide to the Wolfenbüttel waterways cultural route is available for the nominal sum of one euro from the tourist information centre.
