June 23, 2025,1. Einbecker Fahrradtour zur Heldenburg

A very nice bike ride to Heldenburg Castle. From there, you have a beautiful view of the entire valley. The bike paths are well-maintained and mostly paved. Only on the short climb to Heldenburg Castle should you engage first gear and select the highest assistance level on your e-bike, as the climb is very steep.
