シュプリンゲの峠・トップ7

The climb to Lauenstein is well paved and winds its way up several switchbacks. Naturally, there's plenty of accompanying traffic, including cars and motorcycles, although the motorcycles are less dangerous than the cars that sometimes speed past.

Always fun, in both directions

Easy to drive route with relatively little traffic.

The Nienstedter Pass is in the middle of the Deister on the L 401 between Nienstedt and Egestorf am Deister. With a height of 277 meters, it is the highest and, with a length of more than four kilometers, the longest hill in the Hanover area that can be continuously ridden on by racing bikes. At the summit of the pass, the Deisterkamm, there is a car park, which is the starting point for numerous hiking trails and mountain bike trails into the Deister.

The Lauensteiner Pass is a worthwhile destination for all racing cyclists in the north. I always preferred to drive it up from Lauenstein and back to Haus Harderode. So it is highly varied and down only fast. :-)

The Lauensteiner Pass is a north German classic. Every two-wheeler who wants to gain mountain experience or test himself comes here. Yes, we did it, too! :-)

Beautiful serpentine and sporty slope for flat countries from the region ;-)

Good starting point in the middle of the Deister for hikes, walks or bike tours. There is a parking lot and a bus stop.
