In my opinion, this is the preferred route between Thomasburg and Ellringen. It's varied, undulating, and traffic-free. However, due to the not always perfect surface, caution is required.

The oldest documentary evidence of St. John's Church dates back to 1302. The immediate predecessor of today's building was a brick church with a granite foundation. The current church building was built between 1903 and 1905 according to the design of the architect Wilhelm Matthies from Bardowick. The fieldstone masonry of the previous church was partially integrated into the new building. Conversion measures followed in 1967, during which, among other things, a new hall was installed in the north gallery. Source: Wikipedia

The St. Johannis Church in Dahlenburg was rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style between 1903 and 1905 and replaced a previous church from the Middle Ages. From the time of the previous building, however, an important late Gothic carved altar and a late Gothic gallery cabinet have been preserved. Equally important is the ornately designed Renaissance pulpit. The small church is located in the town center and has a lasting impact on the joint community of Dahlenburg. https://www.eurob.org/item/st-johannis_st-laurentius_dahlenburg/

The little church in Dahlenburg. When visiting, it is worth visiting the square and taking some pictures. Right next to it you will find the marketplace if you want to buy something locally.

Very nice and quiet route from Thomasburg to Ellringen. A good alternative route to the larger and more frequented country road "Am Neetzetal". On this route, near Thomasburg, there is a small bench that can be used for a rest.
