Geographically, Friedland is located in the south of Lower Saxony, close to the border with Thuringia. The town is surrounded by a picturesque landscape that is perfect for hiking or cycling.

If it rains, you can, for example, take a trip to the thermal baths in Heiligenstadt or visit one of the many museums.

It is particularly beautiful in Friedland in spring and summer, when everything is in bloom and green. But the region also has its charm in autumn - especially when the leaves turn colourful.

    sehr abwechslungsreiche Wanderung durch Natur- und Kulturlandschaft, einige Kalkmagerwiesen im Mai voller Knabenkräuter, bergauf und bergab, aber nicht zu anstrengend , Tour kann abgekürzt werden, wenn man am besten bei der Kirche oder auf dem Wanderparkplatz in Roßbach parkt

    Das ist eine sehr schöne Wanderung. allerdings stimmt die Route an einer Stelle nicht. Wenn man ungefähr 1 km nach den Steinköpfe eine Abzweigung vom Weg rechts runter zum Weissebach sucht, wird man nicht fündig werden. Diese Abzweigung existiert nicht. Man kann aber einfach den Weg geradeaus weitergehen und im großen Bogen diesen nicht existierenden Teil umgehen, wie auf dem Screenshot dargestellt.

    Bis Neu-Eichenberg für meinen Geschmack etwas zu viel Asphalt, danach sehr schön! Ich empfehle allerdings, nach Lindewerra noch bis Werleshausen am östlichen Ufer der Werra entlang zu laufen, das ist schöner. Am Ortseingang von Werleshausen gibt es dann noch eine Brücke.

    Vor einigen Jahren wurde der E6 im Wendland großräumig verlegt. Die gezeigte Strecke entspricht daher nicht mehr der Markierung vor Ort. Im Übrigen kann ich den E6 gerade im Wendland wärmstens empfehlen.

    An sich schöne und landschaftlich reizvolle Tour. Den Abzweig an der Elleröder Straße hinter Hedemünden dringend überarbeiten, die eingezeichnete Route führt in eine Sackgasse. Hier ist ein Fahrradweg ausgeschildert, diesem folgen. Auch dass die Route hinter Witzenhausen nicht weiter an der Werra entlangführt, sondern einen eigentlich unnötigen Schlenker auf schlechten Wegen macht, wirkt etwas erzwungen um mehr Höhenmeter oder Distanz zu erzielen. Ansonsten wie gesagt schön und mit guten Fernblicken, eine durchaus lohnende Tour.
