The Brome Beekeepers’ Association’s bee education trail is located on the western edge of Tülau and can be visited year-round at any time of day. The “Tülauer Kneipe,” where you can cool your feet, is located along the trail. The themed trail and the named water spot give a stay a specific local focus. If you are interested in bees and nature, you can include this place in your travel plans; the year-round access allows for visits at different times of the year.

Church and landscape in Tülau

St. Johannis Church in Tülau was built in 1929/1930 to plans by Adolf Schulze, a master carpenter from Fahrenhorst. The surrounding landscape has a different timescale: over the last few centuries, the Kleine Aller has drained the Kiebitzmoor west of Tülau via an increasingly extensive network of ditches. Local planning thus brings together a church built in a clearly dated period and a water management system developed over centuries. The education trail, church and moorland each offer their own focus, which you can weigh differently when choosing your destination.

Cycling and buses when planning your trip

When choosing where to stay, it helps to distinguish between local points of interest and transport links. The municipality of Tülau is connected to the district cycle route network. The municipality also generally has hourly public bus services to Wolfsburg and Gifhorn. Check current timetables before travelling. The cycling connection and bus destinations answer different planning questions: one concerns access to the cycle route network, the other possible public transport connections to the named cities. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Tülau, consider these transport details alongside your interest in the education trail or church when choosing your destination.

Gifhorn as a regional setting

The district of Gifhorn includes heathland, forests, moorlands, rivers and lakes. The district also includes the Drömling, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. These regional landscape features provide a broader context for travel decisions; the specific points of interest in Tülau remain the bee education trail, the church and the Kiebitzmoor to the west.
