Directions

After a historical insight into the town of Hasselfelde, which we start with a visit to the Blumenau Museum in the tourist information office, we drive about 400 m west on the B81 to the gas station.

Immediately behind the gas station we turn right into a narrow path. (This is where the actual signposting of the cycle path begins)

We continue past the small industrial area and then meet the Harzweg (a paved cycling and hiking trail).

This leads us over meadows and fields to Trautenstein.

In Trautenstein, we ride about 200 m downhill on Albert-Schneider Street until we have to turn right to get to St. Salvator Church.
