Südniedersachsen

Wooded mountains and open meadows, ancient castles and charming towns – and above all, plenty of nature: the southern Lower Saxony highlands are perfect for extensive hikes. The region around Göttingen and the Weser-Leine highlands offers many natural and cultural historical highlights that can be explored and enjoyed, especially on foot. The Rother hiking guide "Southern Lower Saxony" presents these in 65 tours and walks.

The paths lead through forests and hilly landscapes in peace and seclusion, to ancient castle ruins and to several observation towers that provide expansive views over the land. Among the selection are even three multi-day hikes: the Ith-Hils Trail, the Rennstieg, and the Solling-Harz Cross Trail. The hikes are spread across the area from Hildesheim in the north to Hann. Münden in the south, and from the Upper Weser in the west to the Harz foothills in the east.

Each hike is easy and safe to follow thanks to reliable route descriptions, a map section with the marked route, and a detailed elevation profile. Additionally, GPS tracks are available for download. Many tips on variations, attractions, and dining options make the tours highly diverse.
