Node systems – what every cyclist should know

Looking for a flexible way to explore new paths? The node system is perfect for you. This practical network, widely used in the Netherlands, has now been implemented in parts of Niedersachsen, including the County of Bentheim, East Frisia, Emsland, Südheide-Gifhorn, Kulturland Teufelsmoor and the Oldenburger Münsterland. Navigation is quick and easy: the node network is designated by numbers ranging from 1 to 99, connected in various sequences to form specific routes. These numbers are displayed on signposts, while overview boards with the nodes make orientation simple. This modern numbered system allows for spontaneous route changes, giving you the flexibility to shorten or extend your route as you wish.
