Geographically, Dahlum is located on the southern edge of the Harz Mountains and thus offers a breathtaking landscape with numerous opportunities for hiking or cycling. In winter, you can also explore the nearby ski areas.

For those interested in history, there is much to discover here - for example, visit Wolfenbüttel Castle from the 13th century or Duke August's impressive library from the 16th century, which is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Dahlum also has a lot to offer culturally: Visit the annual culture market on the Schlossplatz or enjoy classical concerts in the town hall.

Culinary delights include regional specialities such as kale with pinkel or brown cabbage with Bregenwurst as well as the famous Wolfenbüttel beer.

If it rains, we recommend a visit to the Lessinghaus Museum, which is dedicated to the life and work of the famous German poet Gotthold Ephraim Lessing.

In conclusion, the most beautiful places in Dahlum are undoubtedly the idyllic parks around the castle and the view of the surrounding countryside from the castle tower.

    Sehr schöne Tour. Ich würde beim erneuten Befahren evtl. am Waldfrieden starten und enden. Nach der Einkehr war das erneute losfahren doch sehr anstengend (was nicht minder am Umweg lag wegen einer im Wald hängen gelassenen Tasche :-) ) Aber sehr schönes Mountainbikegebiet.
