From World Heritage Site to World Heritage Site



A particular highlight is the Innerste Cycle Path. From the Harz Mountains to Hildesheim, 105 kilometers of cycling connect two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From Goslar, you pass the source of the Innerste River in the Upper Harz and follow the route past impressive landscapes to its confluence with the Rhine in Sarstedt.
Roughly half the route leads through or past nature reserves and can be completed in one stage or divided into three – giving you ample time to visit the towns and sights along the way. With a total elevation gain of 1260 meters and some sections on natural paths, the route is best suited for more experienced cyclists.
In three stages:
Starting in Goslar, you'll find the Rammelsberg Visitor Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the charming old town. After an initial climb of up to 650 meters, the second day rewards you with a long descent and a route directly along the river. The final leg takes you past Derneburg Castle to Hildesheim, home to two UNESCO World Heritage churches.
