Cyclists with "normal" bikes should stay on the official, well-trodden paths, for everything else an MTB is an advantage!

Especially beautiful around the end of August/beginning of September because of the flowering heather. As a bonus, you can watch model planes flying around at the 'airfield' behind it from a distance.

Everyone, whether hikers or bikers, is better off staying on the official paths, as this is a nature reserve. Violations can be punished with an administrative offense of up to 50,000 euros according to §64 No.:4 NNatSchG. Other parts of the route lead over small paths through private forests without the consent of the forest owners. According to the NWaldLG, an administrative offense for cyclists and horse riders is also due here, the section of the route is still in the landscape protection area and off the official paths it can get really expensive, say up to 25,000 euros the NNatSchG. Paths that can be driven on with normal cars all year round or official cycle paths such as the landscape experience route are official paths, this does not apply to the Itterbecker Heide area mentioned above, here it is best to use the country experience route on the edge of the nature reserve, otherwise it will be expensive. Unfortunately, the operator does not permanently remove the route on this platform.
