Sehnde - Themenwege

The route has been developed on field paths away from qualified roads. On the routes to be designated, cyclists should be safely guided through the landscape to the destination, away from the busier roads. The recreational bike paths represent an alternative to everyday traffic. A coordination with the bicycle routes of the neighboring municipalities, including the association of the "Leisure Region Börde - Algermissen-Harsum-Hohenhameln-Sehnde" (ILEK) was carried out. For this reason, there are also some locations of posts and signage for the bike network that do not lie within the city area of Sehnde. However, the logical connection of the respective route or a path with a thematic focus must be ensured. Thus, the "Great Ring - Around Sehnde" also leads into the urban area of Lehrte and the municipality of Algermissen. The thematic path 1 with the focus on the forest areas of Gaim and Bockmer Holz runs through areas of the city of Hanover, district of Wülferode. On thematic path 4, places and buildings are experienced that document the industrial development along the Mittelland Canal and the lateral canal. This also includes the southern detour into the municipality of Algermissen. The connection paths between the districts and in the villages of the neighboring municipalities are presented as continuing paths. However, signage occurs only within the urban area of Sehnde. The information on the signs refers, where it makes sense, also to localities that are on the outskirts of a neighboring municipality. In the selection of the paths, the following types of routes were filtered out: 1. Connection paths (from the districts to the core and to neighboring municipalities): The greatest need is certainly to reach certain destinations (core, Mittelland Canal, neighboring municipalities, points of interest) on picturesque paths. This should primarily be satisfied through connection paths. 2. Thematic paths according to the recreation concept: Through the thematic paths from the recreation concept, citizens can learn a little more about the history of the settlements, the industrial development, or the special landscape areas. The thematic paths connect to the Mittelland Canal as a connecting axis. The thematic paths are also led in sections that lie outside the urban area. Eight paths with special themes and varying lengths have been developed. - Source: www.sehnde.de
