Were guests for 5 days, room (comfort room) big enough, bathroom with walk-in shower, breakfast something for everyone, garage including charging facility for e-bikes, food from all menus, I recommend the snack and the nature park plate.

August 8, 2025,Schneverdingen: Radtour Nr. 17 - Pures Heidevergnügen (26 km)

The scenery is very beautiful, but the bike paths are mountain bike trails, not cycle paths. They're not marked as such either on Komoot or on the tourist website.

The route was partly demanding. Sand, tree roots, cobblestones. Very narrow path with partly very rutted, muddy bike lanes. Certainly well suited for mountain bikes.
