Mittelland Canal Aqueduct (Flood Bridge) Seelze

Here you have the opportunity to cross under the Mittelland Canal. A bit unreal when you are under a canal, imposing structure!

September 22, 2024,Hannovers Grünes Band 👍

Hanover's green belt! How wonderful! Starting at the Maschsee, it goes along the Leine, Ihme, Stichanal. Then again through the Leinemasch and then to the intersection of the Leine and the Mittelland Canal. Along the Mittelland Canal towards the city, it goes through the Eilenriede back to the Maschsee! Except for what feels like 500m, everything is green and there …

Had a lot of fun on the tour. Lots of walkers on Sundays and plenty of bicycle traffic from the front and rear. Hardly had time for photos. Proceed with Komoot more often because the compass

After completing part of this loop in July 🚴‍♂️, I had to complete it. Clockwise, it runs beautifully along the Mittelland Canal, then I dive into the forests of Hanover. The Eilenriede city forest, the lungs of Hanover. 🌳🌲🌳🌲 Continuing along the Ihme River, I return to the starting point via the branch canal. Very beautiful 🚴‍♂️ paths to enjoy …

Today I headed to Hanover to cycle through Hanover's Green Ring. Starting in Seelze, I quickly entered the forest. Through the Eilenriede forest toward the Maschsee lake. Further on through the prairie, passing lovely beer gardens, where I, of course, stopped for a bite to eat. 😁🍺
Sometimes Komoot was acting up again and confused right and left. But somehow, …

Due to major time restrictions, only a small round came out today. Norbert and I from the Pleasure Bike Troop cycled to Hanover to explore the Julius Trip Ring.
In other words:
From Garbsen on the Mittelland Canal to Hanover in the Eilenriede. To the Maschsee, along the Ihme to the Herrenhäuser Gardens. Ate a cake at a baker's and …
