Traveling by train is much better in the off-season! We chose the Lower Saxony Ticket because for a fixed price you can freely choose the time and route for a whole day. Ideal for round trips.
We hadn't been to Bad Pyrmont before. The town and the castle are worth seeing. Unfortunately, you can't enter

The blue sky and the brilliant autumn colors lured us outside despite the chill. Of course, we weren't alone, and riding fast on the usual walking paths was out of the question. But that wasn't our plan anyway. 😉
The first stop was supposed to be the Pirella ice cream parlor, but it's closed this week

It was gloomy, autumnal, and there were even plans for a bit of rain. We weren't up for a long hike. We first checked the chestnut trees below the Hildesheim observation tower and picked some of the largest. Then we went to breakfast at Cafe Engelke in Diekholzen. To finish, we chose "Hildesheimer T

The route along some roads isn't really my style; I usually try to avoid busy roads. This time, I let Komoot do the routing and didn't check it carefully enough later. The section between Bodenburg and the Fischerhütte is suboptimal. While the asphalt is well-ridable throughout, there's also a lot of

The weather is supposed to change in the next few days. As early retirees, we were free to plan the rest of the week and, for once, do a tour during the week. The decision was spot on, because the weather was wonderful today. If it's the same tomorrow, the program for tomorrow is already set. 😊

The day began gray, but gradually improved by the afternoon. Warming sunlight, the beginnings of autumn color, and the scent of mushrooms in the forest; a picture-perfect hike. The forest paths were consistently well-paved today. However, there is still a lot of stacked wood in the forest, and the paths

Today, on the last day of our long weekend, we went for a shorter ride; yesterday's grueling climb to Homburg and the double crossing of the Ith River near Holzen were still in our bones.
The outward route led us through the valley of the same name, along the Saale River, and the return route followed

The Homburg Castle ruins above Stadtoldendorf are ancient and have a varied history. The tower is still a very interesting lookout point, but it's difficult to reach. Only mountain bikers are able to manage the last stretch of the trail from the Forest Education Center up to the ruins while sitting in

Zwischen den historischen Fassaden ist der Weihnachtsmarkt urgemütlich.

Die Strecke verläuft abseits von den Autostraßen durchs Tal der Innerste. Die Wege sind gut befestigt und auch bei Nässe gut zu befahren.

Die Streckenführung ist eher was für Mountainbikes, zumindest braucht man breitere Reifen und eine bergtaugliche Schaltung.

Mit Trekkingrad durchgehend problemlos befahrbar. Die Strecken führen durch offenes Gelände; Windrichtung beachten. Die Fischmanufaktur Möller bietet viele Spezialitäten im Außerhausverkauf oder als Imbiss mit Selbstbedienung. Wir wählen meist Brötchen mit Stremellachs. Üppig mit Fisch und Salatbeilagen belegt und als Dressing Honig-Senfsauce. Der Däne in Pattensen bietet dänische Snacks, komplettes Frühstück und vor allem dänisches Softeis.

The Groß Düngen Christmas market is an old tradition; it feels like it's been there forever. We took a quick stroll around and were content with a sausage, coffee, and cake. 🤭
Okay, you don't really need a Christmas market for that; there are plenty of those around the year. But we did visit the craftspeople
