    Einsame, herrliche Wege, zusammengesetzt zu einem schönen Rundwanderweg. Leider betrübt auf dem ersten Wegstück der Lärm der nahegelegenen Autobahn A2 ein wenig den Genuss. Aber spätestens ab dem Waldstück, wo man von oben die Leine in ihrer Schönheit bewundern kann, in den Rettmer Bergen, beginnt das beste Wegstück: schöne Waldwege, prachtvolle Wege am Waldesrand und an landwirtschaftlichen Flächen entlang. Vielen Dank für diese Anregung.
