In the south of Braunschweig, on Wolfenbütteler Straße, lies a historical gem: the Richmond palace complex, the former refuge of Duchess Augusta (1737/1780-1813). The charming group of buildings, consisting of a pleasure palace and outbuildings, is surrounded by an English landscape park that has been largely restored in recent years. The view extends far over ponds, winding paths, and along groups of trees to a small temple in the distance. A visit is particularly worthwhile in May during the blooming of the large rhododendrons. The restored palace now serves representative purposes. It is rented out to non-profit and private organizers and is also used by the Braunschweig registry office for weddings.

There's always something going on here, whether you're watching the skaters on the ramp, the climbers on the wall or the spayers under the bridge.

Today I circled Braunschweig with a friend on the Ringgleiss (with the journey from Peine and back) There are probably still a few small gaps but a otherwise successful bike path.

The ring track connects all parts of Braunschweig with each other, there is a lot going on here, the routes are very well developed and, above all, signposted
