A junction system with 400 junctions in the Southern Heath. With the junction system, you always know where you're going. Wherever two cycle paths intersect, there's a junction. Each junction has been assigned a number between 01 and 99. At each junction, you can spontaneously decide which place or attraction you want to explore and how far it is. The signage ensures you won't get lost, even without maps. At each junction, there's an information board with your current location and the nearest junction. Plan your own tour Using the junctions, you can plan your own tour at home. Simply write down the junction numbers of the desired route on a piece of paper and cycle along them. Or you can use the Fietsknoop interactive map to plan your tour. Click on the junctions you want to cycle to. The distance from junction to junction and the total mileage are then calculated. You can either note down the junction numbers and the route, print them out, or download them as a GPS track. Info: https://www.suedheide-gifhorn.de/urlaubsthemen/radfahren/knotenpunkte
