Here you have a fantastic view of the castle when you cycle towards Hanover. It is worth a detour to see the historic walls and the inventory.

The bench is right on the bike path for this section of the route. From there you have a beautiful view of the lake. The right place for a quiet, relaxed rest.

Used the 9 euro ticket again on the last day and took the metronome to Hanover. With the e-bikes then mostly on the Leineradweg cycled back to Alfeld. The weather was ideal for a bike ride today 👍
