main station to Hanover's Top sights. The route leads through the
Eilenriede city forest, past the Adventure Zoo and the Bischofshol beer garden -
perfect for the first break.

The farm shop routes combine shopping with a cycle tour. Around the Burgdorfer Holz, the Calenberg country and around the steinhuder sea you can combine a trip to the countryside with shopping for regional produce on a farm shop route. Quality, origin and freshness are good reasons for more and more people to buy their food directly from the farm. Here you can buy fruit and vegetables, soups, jams and so much more from the region.
Christian Wyrwa Cycling through the Deister
Barsinghausen and its districts are located on the northern slope of the Deister and are ideal starting points for your cycle tours and can be easily reached by public transport. The Deister crossing is challenging, but doable with good gears. The two Forest restaurants Nordmannsturm and Annaturm are perfect for a short break. Those with sporting ambitions can climb the Bullerbach valley. If you are more interested in the history of the Deister, we recommend a detour to the Visitor mine Klosterstollen with mine railway rides deep into the mountain. And don't forget to see the local animals in the Bison enclosure jump to visit - because the wolves are howling in the small Deister!
The Deister roundabout
If you can't get enough of the Deister can get, we recommend
the Deister roundabout. Over 80 kilometres, the route connects the towns of
Springe, Wennigsen, Barsinghausen, Bad Nenndorf, Rodenberg and Bad Münder and
is divided into four sections of equal length. Here you pass through
Scenically and culturally diverse areas with manors and monasteries,
resort flair and relics from the mining and glass industries.

Various hiking and cycling trails make the Moore north of Hanover. The longest of these is the themed cycle path "from moor to moor", which is a good 100 kilometres long. This connects all seven moorland areas in four stages. It starts in the more urban landscape of the Altwarmbüchen Moor, passes the Oldhorster Moor and heads out into the rural area around Resse with the most ecologically valuable moors of the Nordhannoversche Moorgeest nature conservation project. The highlight of the last two stages is the moorland on the steinhuder sea.
