ACTIVITIES IN THE REGION
Enjoying beauty with all senses
Be it on the e-bike, by canoe or on foot: Sights to see can be experienced in Hildesheim and the entire region from a number of quite
different perspectives. Experiencing the forest with all senses – on the „Senses Path“ on Schlehberg Mountain in Alfeld this is easily
possible. On the cultural landscape trail on Ortsberg Mountain, „nature can be experienced first-hand“.
„Experiencing nature first-hand“ on canoeing tours
Every hill on the Leinberg hillside,
each mountain in on the
foothills of the Harz mountain
range will be conquered easily –
with the e-bike. Since the spring
2012 the Hildesheim region has
been one of the 50 „movelo regions“.
Numerous rental stations
in the Hildesheim region
have electrical bicycles available
for renting. The prettiest
sights to see, the most breathtaking
lookout points, cultural
highlights and culinary delicacies
can be „experienced“ without
great effort on the e-bike in
the Hildesheim region.
Adventurers will get what they
are looking for on a canoeing
tour – both on the Leine as well
as the Innerste River. Who was
used a kayak or canoe once on
a river to make their way will
16
know: a detour into nature can
hardly be more relaxing and at
the same time thrilling than
this. One does not need to be
a pro to explore the vicinity
around Leinebergland hills or
the Innerste valley on the waterway.
In the Leinebergland
hills guided canoeing tours are
offered – with or without picnic,
very well also combined
with bicycle tours. The 13-kilometre
route between Alfeld
and Gronau is predestined as a
family-friendly beginner‘s tour.
Depending on the willpower
to step into the pedal, the tour
takes four to five hours. Tours
along the Innerste are likewise
possible. The tours take off from
the river bridge near Astenbeck
and end on the Hohnsensee in
Hildesheim. The canoes can be
booked per day or at a cheaper
rate only for afternoons.
Experiencing the forest with all
senses – on the „Senses Path“ on
the Alfelder Schlehberg mountain
this is easily possible. According
to its inter-generational
concept it has touch-and-feel
boxes, ear trumpets, wind
chimes, animal‘s long jump, the
tree telephone and much more
in store. At about 20 stations, big
and small visitors can play, have
fun and learn many interesting
things about the forest and its
residents. The path has a length
of around 1.4 kilometres and en
route it offers marvellous views
onto the town of Alfeld (Leine).
i
On the cultural landscape path
too on the Ortsberg Mountain
near Alfeld can „nature be experienced
first-hand“ – the southern
slope of the Orsberg and
Rehberg mountains are characterised
by their extraordinary diversity
in the landscape: forests,
hedges, meadows and fields on
the narrowest of spaces. The
richness in kinds is remarkable.
On a space of barely two square
kilometres, more than 400 plant
kinds have been verified, in addition
to numerous animal kinds.
Ten theme plates lead the way
along the cultural landscape
path on the Ortsberg.
