Route information:
The stately linden tree at Ohlehof is already over 300 years old and as a teenager he might have been an eyewitness when, towards the end of the Thirty Years' War, Octavio Piccolomini's troops besieged the city and set fire to the new town. circumference of over 6,5 m It is probably one of the most valuable natural monuments in the Einbeck area.
At the farm on the left in the valley “Crooked Watermill” There is a drinking water protection area from which up to 30% of Einbeck’s drinking water Three wells here, from a depth of approximately 50 meters, produce up to 60.000 liters of water per hour. Because the water is very hard, i.e., very calcareous, from the Muschelkalk, it is blended with the very soft Solling water, which is piped to Einbeck.
The Crooked water, in the upper reaches also “Hille Bach” The river rises in the north in the forests of the Hils. After a 16 km run, it flows into the Ilme south of Einbeck.
The origin and development of Einbeck played a key role in Crooked water an important role: It supplied the city with urgently needed water for the fortification trenches, the Fountains and the beer brewery. It was also crucial for the naming the city. It was a village “On the Beke” (am Bache), and from this, according to documents handed down, in the 11th century for the first time “Embeke”, in the 12th century “One-bike” and later “Einbeck”.
Originally the stream probably ran through the middle of the city, later it was led past the western side of the wall.
The Ort Kuventhal lies tightly squeezed into the 50 m deep valley cut by the stream. As Two-story bridge The village has largely adapted to the natural shape of the valley, as can be seen from the valley's edge. The local chronicle reports frequent severe Floods as a result of melting snow or torrential rain. In the summer of 1886, a flood is said to have reached a height of 4 meters in the town and caused severe damage.
Due to the natural narrowness of the valley, the stream swells very quickly and can overflow its banks within a few hours. Unlike larger rivers, however, flooding is often short-lived.

Arrival & Parking
You can reach the starting point of the circular route from the market square via Tiedexer Straße toward the Tiedexer Tor. Continue past the Tiedexer Tor, past the PS.SPEICHER – the interactive exhibition on the history, present, and future of our individual mobility on wheels – and after 300 meters, turn right onto Ivenstraße. About another 100 meters and you'll reach the old bridge.
The Bridge made of red sandstone spans the Krumme Wasser on Ivenstraße and, with its two pointed arches, is a unique structure from the 16th century. 500 years ago, as part of the Einbeck-Alfeld-Hanover military road, it connected the southern German cities with the Hanseatic cities of the north.
After crossing the bridge, follow the road for about 200 Meters the cycle path, cross the main road, and follow Ivenstraße to approximately the level of the riding and driving club. Here, the cycle path turns left into the Riesswarte. In the past, a lookout tower was part of the outer defenses of a fortress or town. Often, it stood as a fortified tower far in front of the actual fortifications, allowing the enemy to be spotted early.
Signaling systems shortened the warning time. Along with the Landwehr towers, the tower was one of three lookout posts within the Einbeck area. The Middle High German noun "ris" means "twig, branch, bush, shrubbery..."
