Yachthafen Am Heidanger

Tucked along the Zweigkanal Salzgitter near the village of Wedtlenstedt, this marina opened in 1983 and offers around 90 berths accommodating boats up to 20 metres. It has a quietly local, unhurried feel — this is inland canal Germany at its most straightforward, far from the coastal crowds. If you're cruising the Salzgitter branch canal, it's a solid place to tie up and explore the flat, rural Landkreis Peine countryside around Vechelde.
