The Bernsteinsee, a bathing lake south of the centre, is a popular summer destination. Gifhorn serves as the administrative seat of the Landkreis Gifhorn. The town's economy includes automotive suppliers linked to Volkswagen in nearby Wolfsburg. Wolfsburg is about 25 kilometres east by train. Adult companionship follows Lower Saxony's regulatory framework.
