In Müden (Aller), local history and river landscapes come together: the village has a historic town center, and this is where the Oker, flowing from the Harz Mountains, joins the Aller. There is also the local history museum, St. Peter's Church and several named cycling routes. This combination can help you choose the focus of your trip—for example, a museum visit, walks or a riverside ride.
Town Center and Local History Museum
The historic town center and St. Peter's Church give Müden (Aller) a distinct cultural character. At the local history museum, you can visit a lovingly furnished farmhouse parlor. You can also see workshops belonging to coopers, mechanical engineers, shoemakers, tailors and hairdressers. The collection includes objects from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries, bringing different periods and trades together.
The museum also includes a “Tante-Emma-Laden” (traditional neighborhood shop), which may bring back childhood memories for some visitors. The farmhouse parlor, workshops, collection and shop each offer a different perspective: from the home to a range of professions and a familiar type of store. Check current visiting arrangements before your visit, as access information may change.
The Aller, the Oker and Places to Walk
In Müden, the Oker joins the Aller. From Gloystein Bridge, you have a good view of the Aller, the Oker and the Oker weir. This lets you experience the river landscape from a specific vantage point, rather than getting to know it only through the names of the cycling routes. Müden also offers plenty of opportunities for walks beyond cycling.
Cycling Routes of Different Lengths
The 126-kilometer Oker Cycle Route ends at the local history museum in Müden (Aller) and follows the Oker to where it joins the Aller. The Aller Cycle Route comes from Celle and passes through Müden, Gifhorn and Tankumsee, heading toward Wolfsburg; the section described is around 30 kilometers long. The approximately 38-kilometer “Nature Treasures” cycling tour runs via Gifhorn, Wilsche, Müden (Aller), Meinersen, Dalldorf, Leiferde and Winkel, returning to Gifhorn. In Müden, it crosses the Aller and continues along the Oker.
These distances represent different types of ride: a 126-kilometer cycling route, a section of around 30 kilometers and a loop of around 38 kilometers. This lets you compare the scale of the options described without treating the routes as equivalent. Müden is also well suited to touring by bike, and opportunities are currently being further developed.
