Goslar to Wolfenbüttel

Having cycled from Wolfenbüttel to Braunschweig last wet and cold Friday, 15km from here, I didn't feel the need to cycle from Goslar to here (60km) and I was very pleased to be able to hop on the train at Wolfenbüttel and complete the last part of the journey in style.

The countryside south of here is definately more attractive than north of here, with hills and forestry - a bit reminiscent of around Marburg. On my 45km journey I passed through 16 towns and no coffee shops - the small towns were dead quiet and the larger ones the cycle trail tended to stay on the outskirts.

Two of the little town churches had memorials to the german soldiers who died in the 2 World Wars.  You don't see them very often and they are always very discreet.  Both had beautiful purple tulips flowering in front of the memorial.
