Eiskeller – Extra Smooth

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Smoothly paved by autumn 2025 – after decades of potholed and rough surfaces, it's finally a pleasure to cycle on this quiet side road. The southern section is called Eiskeller (Ice Cellar) because it's always a bit colder there – and a bit more icy in winter.

Kornmagazin Osterode am Harz

Highlight • Monument

From Osterode, over Lehrbach up to the Glaustal Zerelfeld. But exhausting is worth an experience.

First round after corona.
Everything went well. A little cough, but nothing worse.

After mowing the lawn at the end of the season, there was still time for a short, fast racing bike tour. The sun was mostly behind the clouds, but it was still warm enough for a short-short time.
There was also more than a little wind, because the route was clockwise, I had mostly wind protection from hills and trees …
