Ridge Trail in the Salzgitter Heights near Lichtenberg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Probably the most attractive section of the Salzgitter Höhenweg between Lichtenberg and Bad, interesting in every season. A wild garlic paradise in spring.

Adlerhorst (254 m) on the Kammweg (ridge trail)

Highlight • Summit

Behind Hamberg (275m), Dahlenberg (265m) and Schellenberg (259m) one of the highest elevations in the city of Salzgitter.

Blide catapult at Lichtenberg Castle

Highlight • Monument

The principle of the Blide is as simple as it is effective. The achievable values in terms of throwing weight and throwing distance are very impressive.

Castle Garden at Lichtenberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Anyone who wants to see a trebuchet will get their money's worth here. However, the image remains limited to flying stone balls. In the Middle Ages, the mere sight of one was often enough for the opponents to give up.

Via the idyllic Kammweg, the Adlerhorst vantage point, further along the Gebardshagener Höhenweg you go to the former castle Heinrich the Lion, the castle Lichtenberg, which was destroyed in 1552.
The Lichtenberg Förderverein, for example, and now the Lichtenberg Burgberg Beautification Association, took care of the preservation of the ruins and the beautification of the complex.
All in all, a …

Hello everyone! Today, on our first day of vacation, we started near Salzgitter on the Waldring. First we made a detour to the heron lake. It's really big. Then it went over the ridge path through a sea of wild garlic. I haven't seen that much before. The hammer and the way was great too! Even a hiking trail near …

What a beautiful day, what a beautiful round!
@Thore planned this tour, and so the four of us set off for the autumnal, sunny winter wonderland in Gebhardshagen.
The round was varied and close to nature, the puddles frozen and formed great patterns, the mood was great and there was a lot to talk about. It was great meeting you …
