The view from the Bismarkturm over Göttingen into the Leinetal is very beautiful. The Pluto station on the Göttingen Planet Trail is also here. The planetary path does not end …

Kerstlingeröder Field

Highlight • Natural

A former military training area from the time of the Iron Curtain, when Göttingen was still the location of the Bundeswehr. Since then, it has been a gem in the Göttingen city forest as a local recreation area.

Owl Tower, Göttingen

Highlight • Monument

In the past, the viewing platform actually provided a view of the city. From up here it was also possible to toboggan down to the street in winter. Now everything is overgrown. But maybe it will be again.

August 29, 2022,GÖ-Ost: Westerbergtrails & Stadtwald mit Quälfaktor
08/29/22: If you don't look after your bike, you don't have to complain. After the rain/fog tour with the buddies yesterday to the Brocken, the motor control kept dropping out because of. Wetness in the drive system. Special reward: from Mackenrode up to the Mackenrödern without E. There was a lot of joy there.

04.06.23: After work I went out on my bike again, at least in the city forest. Slightly different route today around Westerberg, Lengderburgberg and Staneberg.

Showing Translation

08/05/22: In preparation for the weekend test drive trails and paths in the area of the Westerberg and the city forest. Especially on the east ridge a lot of broken branches and broken branches still hanging in the trees. Anyone who hits the trails at the weekend should be very careful.

07/19/21: After returning from vacation and a week without any major sport, today a short morning tour through the city forest and over Westerberg and Lengder Burgberg trails. Still very muddy and slippery in flat sections. Today again with a drive through the small biotope below the Lengder Burgberg with its diverse flora.

07/14/22: After the warm-up lap with the Biobike up to Jörg's for a short lap through the shady city forest. As always, an entertaining and enjoyable journey together.

11/14/21: Today should be a 45 km trailing day. The passage via the Wenekopftrail and the Westerberg southern bypass has been relocated several times. Heavy logging work in the Westerberg area. This leads to a significant loss of time. Forest road leads to a dead end. There either push up steeply or go steeply downhill.
Total Loss of time. Therefore …

26.12.21: In severe frost, up on the bike and over Kehr, Stadtwald to Mackenrode. Very cold on the downhill stretch despite good clothing. Hardly better around the Staneberg and Lengder Burgberg. Only when rising through the Göselgrund operating temperature. After leaving Kehr in the city, only ice cold. Still nice round despite some dangerous icy corners.

Showing Translation

03/04/22: Up to the Kehr and off we go with Uwe on a nice after-work tour over the Kerstlingsröder Feld, then down to Mackenrode, around Staneberg and Lengderburgberg, trail maintenance included, and up again to the Kerstlingsrd. field through the Gösselgrund.
It dries slowly and becomes grippy again.
