    Cycling

    Cycling, mountain biking or cycling with gravel bikes is not advisable here...

    The entire area will be destroyed and the natural starting point of the toboggan run will be destroyed too.

    In the Bohnewald there are only 2 designated cycle paths... the rest are TABOO for 2 bikes

    Unless the Soltau municipality puts up signs

    During the First World War, prisoners of war undertook extensive excavations in the beautiful urban Böhmewald forest. This work made it possible to renovate the existing small toboggan run on the steep edge of the Böhme Valley and to build a second toboggan run.

    A shared starting point was established on a newly constructed hill, from which both runs descend approximately 30 meters in length. Today, it is still possible to see where the soil for the starting hill was excavated. The impressive scale of the manual labor performed at that time is still palpable.

    In the middle of the woods. Great for tobogganing in winter. Access by bike is tricky in some places. If it gets wet there, it quickly becomes slippery.
