German heaths (sheep), which browse calm in the broad landscape, amusement parks, which tell you stories and promise adventures, old timber- framework and a railway station as an art object in Uelzen: The character of the heath is multifaceted. Only high mountains are absent, but this is not necessarily a disadvantage for cyclists. Bicycle and heath: That fits together very well.

Romantics, nature lovers and friends of culture – they all like the Lüneburg Heath like once the heath poet Hermann Löns did.

Route

Easy to moderate. The route runs mostly on agricultural roads as well as on little streets and cycleways. On your tour you sometimes come across a bit hilly and unpaved forest ways, sometimes sand ways too also sandy roads with a an uncomfortable surface.

Day 1: Lüneburg

Individual arrival.

Day 2: Lüneburg – Uelzen, approx. 55 km

Day 4: Celle – Hermannsburg/surroundings, approx. 40 km

Alongside the river Örtze little wooden bridges invite you to stay and allow you a good view onto the Örtze valley. From here you can observe with a bit of luck interesting things in nature. Hermannsburg looks back onto a more than 1,000 years old history. The Saxon duke Hermann Billung had probably built a castle near the today’s Peter Paul church, which became later on the centre of the settlement.

Day 5: Hermannsburg/surroundings – Soltau, approx. 49 km

E-bikes | Electric bikes | Pedelecs

By popular demand, we have now invested in a considerable number of e-bikes, much favoured by cyclists who love the great Outdoors, but prefer to let the bike take the strain. With an electro bike every bike tour is a breeze! The shiftable, low noise electric drive of our modern E-bike relieves you of some of the work and increases the pedal force up to 3 times. Acclivity can be handled easily.

Please note that it is not possible to attach handlebar bags to the newer models of our e-bikes due to the additional fixed speedometers and wider handlebars.

IMPORTANT: please reserve e-bikes early as they are only available in very limited numbers.
