🚴‍♀️The route is considered easy to moderately difficult and, due to its mostly flat terrain, is very well suited for families and leisure cyclists. You'll cycle through the wide, flat Wesermarsch region, the bike-friendly city of Oldenburg, and the rolling hills, forests, and heathlands of the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park.

Well-preserved, very well-maintained, and historically interesting. It's ideal for families with children to run around and play. It's a great place to rest, even in the rain. We were very impressed.
