The most beautiful connection between Harz and Heath
The Weser-Harz-Heide long-distance cycle route is the longest cycle route in Lower Saxony. It leads over 400 kilometers from Hann. Münden in the Weserbergland in the south of Lower Saxony to Lüneburg.
Course and sights
"Where the Werra and Fulda kiss..." is not only the source of the Weser. It is also the start of a fascinating long-distance cycle route. The Weser-Harz-Heide long-distance cycle route combines diverse cultural landscapes with impressive natural experiences. Much of the route runs along low-traffic roads and agricultural and forestry paths. Between the Weser and Göttingen and in the Harz Mountains, you can also expect sporty sections with some steep climbs and corresponding descents. From Goslar to Lüneburg via Gifhorn, the cycle path runs along a very well-developed route on largely flat terrain. The entire route is well connected to the rail network. Enjoy the flair of time-honoured university towns and medieval villages, let your thoughts wander amidst rural idylls, visit lambs, lynx and otters in their habitats or immerse yourself in a diverse cultural program - you rarely have so much variety.
The Weser-Harz-Heide cycle path in the Südheide Gifhorn
The Weser-Harz-Heide long-distance cycle path leads around 80 kilometers through the district of Gifhorn. Coming from Braunschweig, the route leads via Meine and Gravenhorst to Isenbüttel. It continues along the Tankumsee lake via Gifhorn, past the International Mill Museum, through the Dragen forest area to Wahrenholz with the Heiliger Hain heathland. Via Schönewörde and Oerrel, the route leads to Hankensbüttel with the Otter Center and Isenhagen Monastery and finally via Bokel to the district of Uelzen.
