Tips from the Community
The Innerste-Philharmonie is not a classic concert hall in the traditional sense like the Berlin Philharmonie or the Elbphilharmonie, but rather a charming, creative project in Heersum (a district of Holle in the Hildesheim district).

The cycle path between Domäne Marienburg (Hildesheim) and Egenstedt is a scenic section that is particularly important for commuters, students, and day-trippers. It connects the Marienburg district of Hildesheim (home to the university's cultural campus) with the municipality of Diekholzen (Egenstedt district).

The cycle path between Egenstedt and Groß Düngen (along the B 243) has been a central topic for commuters and leisure cyclists in the Hildesheim district in recent years. The cycle path has been newly asphalted and repaired in sections. During the complete closures of the federal road for car traffic, the cycle route was mostly secured separately or led across the construction site.

The castle is home to the Hall Art Foundation, a great stop for art lovers. Changing contemporary art exhibitions await you within the castle walls, and a sculpture park is spread throughout the grounds. All information about opening hours and current exhibitions can be found here: http://www.hallartfoundation.org/de/

The Lutter side requires full concentration, especially on the descent. The asphalt, coupled with two or three turns, is quite challenging at times. If the wind is right, it can get really fast. The climb is very easy to ride from both directions.

From the Heersum direction, the bridge offers a steady climb, suitable for beginners! From the Wöhle direction, the climb is short and steep, with a 7%-8% gradient.
