BICYCLE PATH TO ART
The “Water Pillars”, the “Freedom, love, death” sculpture, the “The third ear” sculpture or the “Eurodance” sculpture – these are just a small selection of the works of art which await you

the holiday region of Hildesheim. Beautiful views of the Leine valley, picturesque half-timbered towns and plenty of sights such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Fagus Factory in Alfeld or Marienburg Castle near Nordstemmen await you along the route. Shelters and rest areas round out the offering. The two signposted alternative routes near Alfeld are still something of an insider’s tip. The Stork Route leads you to a viewing platform with a magnificent view of the stork’s nest, while another route takes you through Alfeld’s medieval town centre. The 32-km-long bicycle path from Seesen via Bockenem along the Nette to Holle is perfect for a leisurely day’s ride. Sights to see along the way include the Bockenem Tower Clock Museum, Sottrum Family Park, Schloss Derneburg and the Laves Cultural Trail at the castle. www. ambergau-radweg.de www. leineheideradweg.de AMBERGAU BIKE PATH
