The Genuss Bike Paradies Harz - Braunschweiger Land is a cross-regional and transnational cooperation project between seven LEADER and ILE regions in Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt and was presented at a press conference on Tuesday. Cycling and enjoyment can be ideally combined in the Genuss Bike Paradies. The region stretches from Wolfsburg in the north via the Elm-Lappwald tourism region, the Huy-Fallstein to the southernmost foothills of the Harz Mountains. On a large loop with 12 stages between 24 and 65 kilometers and 14 star tours, pleasure cyclists can experience the surroundings with all their senses. There are restaurants, producers of regional products, rental stations and accommodation along the way, guaranteeing a smooth ride and plenty of variety.
