The remains of the castle are well worth seeing and are well labeled. If the observation tower was up, the view would be very good. Behind the castle there is …

March 9, 2025,Tour bei Salzgitter mit Torsten als Guide

Torsten put together a beautiful tour, it had everything from stones and root fields, steep downhills, stairs and narrow places, all in all a very beautiful area and it is worth going there.

It looked better than expected. The chill factor from the southeast wind was decent 🥶

December 19, 2021,Test Maxxiss Dissector - Hometrails

The weather couldn't be worse, but I wanted to test the Dissector. The best trail for this is the SZ-Höhenweg in wet, matchy weather. Lots of wet roots and stones. I drove a little more cautiously and I also like the tire on the rear wheel. He had already convinced me on the front wheel.

It's amazing how well Eybo is doing again after his long break! 👏 And on these challenging Salzgitter trails – really great! 💪 The sleek new bike seems to be giving me plenty of momentum! 😉 I'm so happy for you, @Eyron Byron!

It doesn't get any better 😁
The right temperature, optimal running and almost alone on the trails. At the moment the trails are perfect and damn fast

The tour was planned with a larger group. After the torrential rain on Friday, the tour was cancelled, but 2 remaining people wanted to go anyway. In the end there were 4 of us. Slippery, muddy, but still a cool tour.
