Ilmenau Riverside Path

The approximately 120 km long Ilmenau Cycle Path is a joint project of the districts of Uelzen, Lüneburg and Harburg. The Ilmenau is the most important body of water in the large natural area of the Lüneburg Heath. It flows through all three districts and in many parts is still very close to nature.
Due to the special features of the Ilmenau, it was decided to design the cycle path as a nature adventure cycle path. This means that some sections of the route do not run directly on the course of the river, because for environmental reasons, existing paths should be used where possible and little should be built, newly paved or asphalted.
Nevertheless, you don't have to do without comfort when you're on the move. The signage was based on the current recommendations of the ADFC. So that you can rest on the way, benches have been set up and shelters for bad weather. At the shelters there are overview boards that provide information about the cycle path, but also show where you are and where the next resting place is.ilmenauradweg.de

A nice section of the old towpath. In former times the salters were pulled, only in the Elbe could they sail. This path is for me the most beautiful way to Bardowick, in every season.

wonderful at any time - more of a bike than MTB section, which means: easy to ride on any bike except with racing bike tires.
