VIA ROMEA GERMANICA / Hornburg - Osterwieck (GER16)

Starting point is the monument of Pope Clemens II at the "Marienkirche" in the town centre in Hornburg. We follow the "Marktstraße" and the "Schlossbergstraße", away from the old town. Turn right into "Osterwiecker Straße" and then turn left at the end of town into a path. This leads us in its course on the ridge route of the "Kleiner Fallstein". Here we come through the partly still existing border installations to Saxony-Anhalt. Going straight, we will soon see the towers of St. Stephanie's Church in Osterwieck. Above the town, we turn right and walk down the "Kirchbergsweg", into the town. In the town centre, we reach our destination, the St. Stephanikirche.

Sturdy shoes. Clothes adapted to the weather.

Very nice tour with historical insights at the "border crossing" of the former domestic German border.

 Hornburg is connected to the motorway network via the "Bundesstrasse 82". From the motorway A395 (Braunschweig - Bad Harzburg) it is only about 6 kilometres to Hornburg.

Enough parking available in the town centre.

Hornburg does not have its own railway connection. The nearest station is on the route of Braunschweig Vienburg / Goslar in Schladen. Hornburg is connected to the city of Braunschweig by public bus transport. Timetables and tariffs can be found on the website of the Verbund Region Braunschweig (VRB).
