This popular local recreation route leads around the Hohnsensee lake in the south of the city of Hildesheim. The path encircles the lake and runs along continuously flat, wide and well-surfaced park paths, which are very popular with both walkers and joggers. A central highlight is the park landscape of the Jo-Wiese site and the immediate proximity to the Innerste, which flanks the lake. Old weeping willows on the shore provide a picturesque backdrop. The flat route makes this short loop an ideal place for a relaxing walk in the "green heart" of Hildesheim.
