The right side of the river upstream towards Dötlingen is more strenuous than the left side. The left side has more flow, but is no longer a challenge since everything has been driven to ruin.

Only drive on the left side of the Hunte - it's not as much fun on the right.

The Hunte River through the Barneführer Woods is the most beautiful section of the Hunte Cycle Route. Always in the shade of the trees 😊👍
