    Sehr schöne Tour mit viel Aussicht. Wir sind von Wolfenbüttel aus gestartet. Am SalzgitterSee haben wir eine Pause eingelegt. Unterwegs gab es viel Natur zu sehen. Die Wege waren überwiegend abseits befahrener Straßen und gut befahrbar. Vielen Dank für diesen Vorschlag.

    Schöne Strecke, jedoch wenig Schatten, man läuft viel in der prallen Sonne durch Felder und Wiesen. Es geht auch mal an der Straße entlang, aber es war wenig bis gar kein Autoverkehr, also alles OK. Hornburg ist wirklich sehr schön!

    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.
