Tourism

  • On the section between Lauenförde and Amelith there are two Grabungsstellen as well as the Hutewald Trail (Hutewaldpfad).
  • The section between Uslar and Hardegsen is popular with motorcyclists because it runs over the winding and forested mountain road known as the Bollert which also has many straight sections before and after it. The Bollert section is now being moved and widened to three lanes between Volpriehausen and Ellierode, this work will be completed by August 2011 and will lessen its attraction to bikers.
