    Sehr schöne Radtour durch sehenswerte, abwechslungsreiche Landschaft; Felder, Wald, Wiesen, Weinberge, Heide, See. Viel Zeit einplanen zum Geniessen und Schauen. Nur sehr wenige Höhenmeter, so dass die Strecke auch "ohne Antrieb" gut zu schaffen ist. Ein Stern Abzug weil die Beschilderung stellenweise nicht eindeutig ist, bzw. es keine durchgehenden einheitlichen Hinweisschilder gibt. Auch ist der Straßenbelag an einigen Stellen sehr schlecht, mit Schlaglöchern oder Schotterbelag. Kurze Abschnitte auch auf Verkehrsstraßen.

    Bin (zum Teil) die Strecke von Goslar nach Eisleben gelaufen. Der Weg ist sehr schön und führt einmal östlich am Harz vorbei. Dort empfiehlt es sich die Stempel zu sammeln die überall auf dem Weg liegen und mit denen man sich die Harzer Wandernadel verdienen kann. Wenn man aber aus dem Harz raus ist verliert die Etappe schnell an Reiz. VORSICHT ist geboten beim Abschnitt zwischen Wippra und Annarode. Der Weg ist dort zum einen schlecht ausgeschildert und kurz vor Annarode EXTREM zugewuchert. Wer eine Machete dabei hat kein Problem allen anderen empfehle ich dringend einen Umweg. (Stand August 2020)

    eine tolle Runde mit größtenteils gut ausgebauten Wegen. Da vieles Feldwege sind, sollte man darauf achten, dass es die Tage davor nicht geregnet hat ;)
