Historical route by bike through the Eichsfeld
A circular route through the beautiful Eichsfeld, past the source of the Leine River, the bear park in Worbis, the borderland museum in Teistungen, the half-timbered town of Duderstadt, through Böseckendorf, where one of the largest mass escapes occurred during border closure, and the pilgrimage chapel Etzelsbach, where the Pope visited in 2011.
