An excursion that tells Braunschweig anew
OkerTour has been taking the Lion City to the water since 1999, connecting city experiences, regional history, and a fine sense for special moments. This is exactly what makes this city tour so appealing: instead of a classic route, visitors experience a perspective that brings together tranquility, expansiveness, and lively impressions. The tour is suitable for guests who want to discover Braunschweig off the usual paths. ([okertour.de](https://www.okertour.de/glossar/okertour/?utm_source=openai))
Water, Ramparts, and Villa Views
The route leads along the Oker bypass and makes visible why this urban space is considered one of the most beautiful sides of Braunschweig. Beneath mighty trees, along well-tended shores, and historical buildings, a special audience atmosphere is created that swings between deceleration and discovery. Those who look closely experience city history not from a textbook, but from the immediate impression from the boat.
