Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Großgoltern à Garbsen

Set off from the peaceful village of Großgoltern, nestled on the western edge of the Deister hills, and enjoy a scenic 23.8 km ride north to Garbsen. The route is mostly flat with only gentle climbs, making it ideal for a relaxed outing. You’ll pedal past fields and patches of woodland, navigating a pleasant mix of paved roads and well-kept gravel tracks—perfect for wider tires but still quite manageable on a regular bike.

More than half the journey follows rural tracks and quiet roads, so you can enjoy the countryside without much traffic. Großgoltern, known for its traditional Lower Saxony charm, marks a leisurely start. As you approach Garbsen, the atmosphere turns more suburban. Garbsen itself is one of the Hannover region’s larger towns, famous for its lovely lakes and green spaces, plus some cool spots to grab a bite after your ride.

All in all, this route is great for those wanting a bit of open air without too much hustle—just a couple of gentle bumps and plenty of green scenery.
