Tolle Tour! Geteerte Wege und (gut befestigte) Waldwege. An der Aller ruhig mal von dem vorgegebenen Weg abbiegen…! ;-)

Wunderbare Tour. Wie überall in der Region mit sandigen Abschnitten.
Um Hankebostel sollte man besser ausenrumfahren. Dort besteht keine Durchfahrt!

Tolle Tour durch die Lüneburger Heide :-) Die Strecke kann gut in beide Richtungen gefahren werden und mein ganz persönliches Highlight ist schon seit vielen Jahren der Wacholderwald bei Schmarbeck. Es gibt ein paar wenige Passagen, wo der Weg etwas sandig ist und man lieber ein Stückchen schiebt. Da die Einkehrmöglichkeiten auf der Strecke recht beschränkt sind, sollte man für die Verpflegung lieber selber sorgen.
