...through Göttingen on the Leine is truly beautiful and quiet. The route then led me through fields, mostly with some railway line nearby, and with heavy traffic. A lovely tour to Northeim. Northeim itself is a small town with many beautiful half-timbered houses. A City Center is somewhat tucked away right in the center, which unfortunately means there are many …

The first major tour of the year took us by train (enjoy it to the fullest) to Göttingen. From there we followed the Leine-Heide cycle path to Alfeld. We had a delicious lunch break in Einbeck's old town. This was followed by a visit from the parents in Freden.

May 1st a different way...
The weather was on our side again - cold but dry!
The trail is very good - fields, river, small villages.
Einbeck is a chic town with a very beautiful old town.

Gusty headwinds were my constant companion on the second stage, 74 km to Alfeld (Leine); however, there was less of the Leine River visible. I briefly left the main route in Northeim (it was a weekly market)!
Today, I had to negotiate many gravel roads between railway lines and beautiful countryside. The Leine River was only at my side again …

It was really cold in the morning - but dry again. Unfortunately, a lot is closed on May 1st - including the Einbecker brewery 😭
But the tour was again very nice and, like part 1, well developed. The last climb to the hotel was the blast at the end. I'm looking forward to the departure tomorrow 😁

What a start to the tour 😁👍 The entire 10 kilometers that we pedaled up yesterday were all down again in one go. Unfortunately there is no "blowing hair emoji" 🤭, that would have been a good fit here.
As the Leine bridge in Freden is closed according to the (luckily timely) signage, we looked for an alternative route and …
