Bike Tours: Tips for Outings in Göttingen and the Weser Uplands
Göttingen and its surroundings are almost an ideal area for small and large bike tours. The vast majority of the now well-developed bike network is relatively flat.
To be on the safe side, you should use the bike paths along the Leine and Weser. The old railway embankment between Göttingen and Dransfeld is also ideal for a trip.
Long or Short Tour - You Decide
The climbs on the nearly 18-kilometer long route over Ossenfeld are manageable for normally active people. The nice thing about the route is also that it's all downhill on the return trip after Ossenfeld.
A bigger challenge is the onward journey from Dransfeld towards Hannoversch Münden. Cyclists log about 70 kilometers round trip.
Bike Rides Along the Weser
Hannoversch Münden is an ideal starting point for bike tours along no less than three rivers. The Weser Cycle Route - Germany's most popular cycle route - is especially beautiful in southern Lower Saxony.
There are plenty of places to eat and stay overnight along the way. If you ride along the Werra and Fulda, leaving Lower Saxony, you can look forward to stunning landscapes.
Another recommendation is the route from Göttingen to Heilbad Heiligenstadt via Rosdorf, Klein Schneen, and Friedland. It's a good day trip round trip. It's also possible to cycle from Göttingen to Northeim along the Leine.
