Elbe Lateral Canal

Attention, unfortunately it is not quite as described, Uelzen harbor has to be bypassed, at Oldenstadt you have to change...Just like at the Lüneburger Hafen, seen from the north, you have to drive on the right-hand side. But all these "lane changes" can be mastered without prior knowledge...

The paths to the right and left along the canal are both very good with the bike passable and lead well over 100km without a break along the canal.

There are paths on both sides of the canal that are good for cycling. There are mostly sand and gravel paths, but the ground is relatively firm and the gravel is not too rough, so that it is easy to drive on. But I wouldn't recommend the route for racing bikes.
