The tour offers many beautiful views of the Heber and the Harz foothills.

The route runs almost exclusively on bike paths, paved field and forest roads, and on side streets.

Already at the starting point of the tour, you have the opportunity to experience the history of Gandersheim, for example during a walk through the old town, as a guest in the city museum, or when visiting the Romanesque collegiate church with the exhibition „Discovering treasures anew“. You should also plan a visit to the former Brunshausen monastery. It is worth seeing the founding place of the Gandersheim collegiate foundation and visiting the exhibitions of the portal to history as well as the local gastronomy there.

In Mechtshausen, the Wilhelm Busch House offers itself for a visit, and in the district of Clus, a Romanesque monastery church with a Gothic carved altar from the year 1487.
