The best tour we have done so far... consciously cycled through the heath... at times you had the feeling you were 100 years back in time... in parts so untouched and beautiful... unbelievable

Beautiful tour through the heath. Sometimes the paths were very sandy, so you had to get off and push your bike, but it was always only a few meters. Unfortunately, the Heidehexe (café in Ohöfe) closes forever in October. So go ahead and go.

A wonderful tour thanks to komoot. Very varied, as the heathland is interrupted by larger forest areas. The paths are surprisingly easy to navigate for heathland tours. The crowds expected when the heather is in bloom were also kept to a minimum. Pure driving time 2:50 hours, average 15.3 km/h.

September 20, 2023,2. Heidetag, Herrmannsburger Rundtour

Today was an ideal cycling day - despite the sometimes strong headwind. We left early and visited the simple Protestant church of the Hermannsburg Mission in Hermannsburg. The rest of the route went through the Missehorner Heide, which only had a few flowering heather bushes. Unfortunately, most of the rest had already withered. Three weeks ago the heathland was still …

The blooming heath in sunshine, with the junipers, the birches and the cumulus clouds, creates a unique panorama.

Unfortunately the battery wasn't enough again, so the last km of the tour were missing.

Beautiful large heath areas and even a herd of heath snails seen. Paths for touring bikes with suspension are sometimes borderline.

January 7, 2023,Fahrradtour_Herrmannsburg-Faßberg-Müden_07.01.2023

Today we went on a tour through the lonely southern heath under slightly overcast skies. We mostly cycled along easy heath and forest paths.
We then fortified ourselves with a large, delicious piece of cake and coffee in Müden. We were then well prepared for the journey home to Hermannsburg.
