Hannover

Hannover's flat terrain suits distance running along the Leine river and through the Eilenriede forest park, with the city centre around 50m elevation. Cyclists dominate here: the Mittsommer-CTF and LV-Zielfahrt zum Wurmberg both exploit Hannover's position as a gateway to the Harz mountains 80km south, where serious climbs begin, while local loop rides like Vom Fössefeld durch das Leinetal stay low through rural Niedersachsen. The city's cycling club scene is strong, with regular century-distance routes radiating outward from the city centre.
