    Schmaler Pfad entlang der Innerste. Kurze Überbrückungsstrecke bis zum Waldrand. Anfangs noch breite Forststrassen, nach Querung der Landstraße K2 bis kurz vor Salzgitter Bad fast ausschließlich schmale Pfade.

    Eine sehr angenehme, abwechslungsreiche Strecke (sind bis HI gefahren)! Hinweis für Ortsdurchfahrt Holle, L493 kurz hinter der A7: Der Feldweg am Rand der Siedlung existiert nicht mehr. Stattdessen kann man ca. 100 m weiter rechts abbiegen durch die Bebauung, über die Straße Am Kirschengarten zur Ringstraße und dann weiter zur Bahnhofstraße/K305. Die Routenführung sollte gelegentlich korrigiert werden.
