Beautiful walking and running tour in Göttingen.
The fairly easy loop starts in Nikolausberg'. The village is surrounded by agricultural fields and woodland. Initially downhill along idyllic country lanes and then uphill, the route initially heads north through the forest. The second half runs through forest but mostly on paved paths through Nikolausberg back to the starting point.
The trail is suitable for both a short hike and a nice run.
Highlights:
- Varied landscape
- Braten valley
