Heidschnucke and blooming nature
Expansive heathlands, gentle hills, and forested areas define the Lüneburg Heath, where cycling feels almost romantic. Towns like Celle and Soltau invite you to take thorough explorations, while the sight of Heidschnucken sheep and the vast landscapes promises pure relaxation. Keep an eye out for the blooming heather (Calluna vulgaris) during your journey; in late summer, the region transforms into a sea of purple blossoms. The eight-day cycling holiday is also highly recommended in spring and autumn.
The journey begins in the charming town of the same name, where a warm welcome invites you to enjoy a leisurely first stroll. Then, it's time to hop on your bike and pedal through tranquil heath landscapes, passing picturesque villages until you reach the artsy town of Uelzen after your first stage. The route continues through stunning countryside to the enchanting town of Celle, with its fairytale-like old town filled with half-timbered houses and the majestic Celle Castle. On day 4, cycle along the peaceful Örtze River, immersed in the serene beauty of nature, before reaching your next overnight stop in the quiet village of Hermannsburg.

The route from Soltau to Schneverdingen is rich in history, and along the way, you'll encounter a typical heath church in Wolterdingen. As the journey nears its end, you'll explore the North Heath. Cycling past herds of the famous Heidschnucken sheep and over the “Wilseder Berg,” you'll make your way back to Lüneburg, taking in the scenic beauty along the way.
Founded in 1921, the Lüneburg Heath is Germany's first and oldest nature park, where the country’s gentle side unfolds. The "Wilseder Berg," as previously mentioned, offers the highest challenge for cyclists, but it's all worth it. Along the way, you'll glide through charming forest paths and soft, sandy trails. Each day, you'll cycle between 35 and 65 kilometers, with every turn bringing you closer to the peaceful beauty of this enchanting region.
Unique natural areas, sometimes rugged charm, and yet always warm hospitality – cycling vacations in Northern Germany continuously reveal new, captivating aspects. One thing you can always count on, though, is the absence of challenging climbs.
