Stage cycling through the Südheide - past heathland, fields, lakes and canals 


Gifhorn - Wahrenholz - Hankensbüttel - Wittingen - Bernsteinsee - Gifhorn

The Südheide circular route takes you to the most beautiful landscapes and most important sights of the Südheide. You cycle to blooming heathland, blue lakes and large moors. Always following the signs, you will cycle along the Elbe Lateral Canal, for example, to the stage destinations of Gifhorn, Wahrenholz, Wittingen and Bernsteinsee, where you will spend the night. The four stages are mostly flat and quite short with lengths between 25 and 40 kilometers. This leaves plenty of time to enjoy nature and discover the destinations. In addition, cafés and inns with regional specialties invite you to take well-deserved breaks along the way.

The circular route leads over around 130 kilometers to the most beautiful destinations in the Südheide Gifhorn.

Safety guidelines

The tour also runs partly on field and forest paths, so appropriate riding technique is required.
Bicyclists, horse riders, joggers and walkers like to use paths and areas that are primarily used for agricultural and forestry purposes. This often leads to misunderstandings between recreational users and farmers. Observing simple rules of conduct can facilitate relaxed coexistence in fields and meadows. Please show consideration for one another!
