The route is very mobile and well developed. At the beginning, coming from Osterode, a small ascent, which is very easy to ride with an e-bike.

The Sösetalsperre was the first dam of the Harzwasserwerke to be built on the Söse from 1928 to 1931 and is used for drinking water supply, flood protection, low water levels and electricity generation. The construction of the dam cost 14.7 million Reichsmarks at that time. The operators are the Harz waterworks. In 1933 the construction of a long-distance water pipeline began from the Sösetalsperre, the northern branch of which extends to Bremen. Today cities and municipalities in the Hildesheim and Hanover area are more likely to be supplied. The city of Göttingen has also received drinking water from the dam since 1980.

On Sep 24 2023, the part of the route was blocked due to construction from Sösetalsperre to around Holzverladung Osterode.
