Kerstlingeröder Field

Highlight • Natural

A former military training area from the time of the Iron Curtain, when Göttingen was still the location of the Bundeswehr. Since then, it has been a gem in the Göttingen city forest as a local recreation area.

March 5, 2022,GÖ-Nordost: 45-km-Trailing-Day, Pretrailing

03/05/22: Today on the way to examine the trails in the Göttinger and Plessewald for the 45 km round. No problem at the start on the Schillerwiesen via Ruprechtweg and Eberbachtrail to Kerstlingsröder Feld. Weenekopf downhill and Westerberg bypass trails still impassable. Therefore, just over the plateau (tree felling!) To the Mackenröder Trails. These are largely dry, have a good …

February 13, 2023,GÖ-Nord: Revierkontrolle in Stadt- & Plessewald

02/13/23: At noon the high fog clears. A quick decision to take a tour of the area. Already in the area of the Eberbachs felling work and relocations. Mackenröder Trails partly muddy but overall acceptable rideable.
The MTBers have once again done a great job on the Hünstollen Trail. The trail is as wide as a harvester, deeply muddy and …

11/28/21: At temperatures around 0 degrees up on the bike and in the city and Plessewald. Whether forest paths or trails: Everything is damp, muddy and slippery. On Borheckstrasse, near the end of the game reserve, a whole bunch of downhillers.
My goal today: The Hünstollen trails up and through the Plessewald. After fun on the track, badly muddy back …

What an exhausting tour 🥳...starting in the sunshine, in the wind on the mountain...in snowfall over the water-flooded trails...so frozen that you didn't know if you were still wearing long pants or not (mine went up to just above the knee freezer burn was safe). The pic's say more than words 😅

Explored new terrain today. A lot of beautiful flowing trails 😃. It was really fun, I'll definitely do it again in the fall when the paths aren't so overgrown.
