Hannover is easy to reach with the DB (https://www.bahn.de). The platforms and the individual levels in the station are easily accessible by escalator or elevator. A selfie "Under the Tail" (meeting point at the equestrian statue of King Ernst August) and maybe a small ice cream 🍦 on hand (Colosseum -https://colosseum-eiscafe.de), then we're ready to go. In the local recreation area Eilenriede, there are - seven marked running tracks, - sunbathing areas, - playgrounds - a trim trail, - skater circuits and also some opportunities to stop for refreshments - tips: Lister Turm Biergarten https://www.lister-turm-biergarten-hannover.de The "Biergarten" from Knusperhaus - https://knusperhaus-hannover.de The new Wald-Hochaus in the Eilenriede is unfortunately only open during the week 😢 and should not be missed: https://www.hannover.de/Kultur-Freizeit/Naherholung/Raus-in-die-Natur/Naturlernorte/Waldstation-Eilenriede/Unsere-Angebote/Das-Wald-Hochhaus We enjoy a short view of the Maschsee and the Maschsee lido (http://www.maschseebad.com) on a wooden footbridge before heading to the Großer Döhrener Teich and the Großer Wülfeler and Detmarscher Teich into the beautiful NSG Leineaue between Hannover and Ruthe (https://www.bfn.de/natura-2000-gebiet/leineaue-zwischen-hannover-und-ruthe). After that we pedal a few more meters on roads, which are surrounded by a beautiful landscape 🌳, before we dive back into the "green" near Hemmingen. If you like, you can walk the last kilometer along the Maschsee, where cyclists, walkers, runners and inline skaters do their laps. Time to enjoy the colorful hustle and bustle or just the view. Hannover is not just the state capital of Lower Saxony. In my eyes, Hannover is a city that is always worth a visit ❤️🤩👍🏼 Here are some more infos: Eilenriede https://www.hannover.de/Kultur-Freizeit/Naherholung/Raus-in-die-Natur/Wälder/Die-Eilenriede Maschsee https://www.visit-hannover.com/Kultur-Sehenswürdigkeiten/Sehenswürdigkeiten/Maschsee Near the route: Zoo Hannover: https://www.zoo-hannover.de Ice stadium: https://www.eisstadion-hannover.de Football stadium: https://www.heinzvonheiden-arena.de Biergarten: Tip - https://www.waterloo-biergarten.de

Hannover's (man-made) Maschsee lake, close to the city center, is simply a highlight and a meeting place for water sports enthusiasts, walkers, joggers, cyclists, etc. There are several beer gardens and restaurants for refreshments.

The Leinewehr Hannover is a beautiful place to pause and of course worth a photo.

The Mittelland Canal, one of Germany's longest artificial waterways, stretches over 325 kilometers and connects the most important rivers and cities in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. With its numerous fishing spots, the canal is a true paradise for anglers.
