Directions
From the city center we head east, cross the traffic light intersection and turn left behind the Roswitha Gymnasium. We are now on the Sculpture Cycle Path. This leads to Lamspringe where you can see and discover 13 sculptures by various artists along the way. The path takes us past the places Altgandersheim and Gehrenrode and offers repeated wide and beautiful views of the landscape and the Heberbörde. On our well-developed cycle path we continue to Lamspringe where the cycle path ends. To the right it goes to the road, to the left to the roundabout. We leave this again and turn right towards Eyershausen. After about 1000 m we then turn left and continue to the fork.
There we turn right. We go up about 300 m and then turn left. Then continue uphill to the right and on to the main road to Eyershausen. To the left it now goes into the small village. On a beautiful side route it goes on to Ohlenrode. For this, we turn left before leaving Eyershausen. We follow the road through the village and turn left. After passing under the ICE track we follow the path straight up. On this high path there are again beautiful views over the Heberbörde.
At Altgandersheim we meet the Sculpture Path again, on which we return to Bad Gandersheim.
On the return journey, we recommend leaving the Sculpture Path at Brunshausen Monastery to visit the former Benedictine monastery with its exhibitions and to take a break at the gastronomy there.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author
For a stopover, the cafés in Brunshausen with their homemade cakes and pastries and coffee and tea specialties are especially recommended – enjoy the special ambiance within the walls of the former monastery.
Don’t miss the annual Gandersheim Cathedral Festival held every summer against the special backdrop of the west portal of the collegiate church.
