Nice avenue. However, the surface of the route is more than in need of renovation.

The town of Soltau in the Lüneburg Heath lies in the so-called Elbe-Weser triangle, at the center of the metropolitan areas of Hamburg, Bremen, and Hanover. With approximately 23,000 inhabitants, Soltau is the second-largest town in the Heidekreis district and a state-recognized climatic health resort with a brine spa. A wide range of cultural and leisure activities, numerous sports facilities, an above-average range of shopping and amenities, green spaces in the town, cozy alleys and corners in the pedestrian zone, safe traffic routes, and, last but not least, a protected environment for families make Soltau an attractive, medium-sized town.

This wasn't so great, especially given the unstable weather. Breakfast in the morning was excellent.
