impressive, the tunnels on this route - but very cold in spring, certainly quite pleasant in summer.

A local we met on the train recommended this ice cream parlor to us. Everything here is made fresh daily from the best ingredients. It's worth getting there early - when everyone's there, everyone's there! The owner is very likeable and has funny sayings in store. Anyone on the Leineradweg will find an excellent refreshment here!

The asphalt is superb to ride on and a fantastic experience when you cycle through the tunnels. Perfect for road bikes – but be careful: When you change sides of the bike path, you have to cross the tracks! When it's hot, the tunnels offer a welcome cooling-off point.
