Maps and trails
Geographically, Söllingen is located between the Drömling Nature Park and the city of Helmstedt. The region is known for its picturesque landscapes and many outdoor recreational opportunities. There are numerous hiking and cycling trails as well as lakes for swimming and boating.

Söllingen also has some tourist attractions to offer. For example, visit the St. Peter's Church or the historic village centre with its half-timbered houses from the 16th century.

Cultural highlights are also plentiful: In summer, there are regular concerts on the village square and there is an annual wine festival in September.

For culinary delights, be sure to make a detour to the local brewery - they have been brewing their beer using traditional methods for over 100 years!

If it rains, you can retreat to Söllingen's museum of local history or enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the cosy cafés.

Autumn is the best time for outdoor activities such as hiking through colourful deciduous forests or mushroom picking in the Drömling nature park. In winter, the nearby skiing area at Wurmberg invites you to go skiing or snowboarding.

Whether spring, summer, autumn or winter - Söllingen is worth a visit at any time of year. Visit us and experience the beauty of this region for yourself!

    Sehr schöne, relativ leiche Runde. Die Nord/Süd-Wege sind geschottert, auf den Ost/West-Wegen gibt es einige Pfad-/Naturweg-Abschnitte. Am südlichen Elmrand hat man bei gutem Wetter eine sehr gute Aussicht auf Asse, Oberharz und Huy(?). Die Route führt an den Stempelstellen 06 (Alte Burg Warberg) und 07 (Bödner Teich) vorbei. Sehr empfehlenswert!

    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.
