Lower Saxony Cultural Route: Discover 800 km full of highlights!
The cultural route in Lower Saxony has now taken another big step: it is now available on the popular online platform Komoot.

All stages are easily accessible by public transport, so the journey can be made convenient. The Deutschlandticket is highlighted as particularly attractive for cyclists.

The highlights include important sights such as the Herrenhausen Gardens in Hanover, Celle Castle, St. Mary's Cathedral in Hildesheim and the world-famous Fagus factory in Alfeld. This diversity of historical gardens, churches and museums makes Lower Saxony a real cycling paradise.
