You can see the Hoher Hagen and the Gauß Turm across the Leine Valley from almost anywhere in the Göttingen area.

This Gö Gravel informal gravel ride takes us out of Gö to the highest height and we think about Carl Frederick Gauß, who might be the patron saint of GPS and Strava.

Gauß was able to triangulate the Hoher Hagen (492m), the Brocken Mountain in the Harz (1,142m) and the Inselsberg in Thuringia (916m) with a low level of mathematical error despite the mountains being far apart and considering the Earths curvature plus other factors.

He also sent with Wilhelm Weber the first electric telegraph message here in Gö.

The Ride – 43km
