HOLIDAY MAGAZINE FOR THE REGION OF HILDESHEIM

Active, dynamic, vibrant – a visit

surrounding area. At the initiative
of a number of sport enthusiasts,
the town has developed
into an important centre

in the past few years. Some
10,000 visitors and 1,000 active
cyclists flock to the races of the
international mountain-bike
elite in Bad Salzdetfurth each
year.
Treasure hunters can follow
GPS-supported routes: the
“White Gold” treasure hunt
takes you through the old part
of Bad Salzdetfurth and has developed
into a real crowd puller.
You can go on another GPS
treasure hunt by bicycle, during
which you hunt for “field gold”
along a 20-kilometre stretch.
With a treasure map in hand,
the participants are guided
through fields and meadows to
different stops, where they have
to answer tricky questions.

tours in the surrounding area
