The 54 km long circular tour starts in Uelzen, at the Hundertwasser train station. The architect Dr. Friedensreich Hundertwasser transformed it into a fairytale-like beautiful station building for Expo 2000. Colorful columns, golden spheres, imaginative mosaics, a "swaying" floor, and bushes on the roof give the station its uniqueness. The tour through the Uelzen city forest leads to Barnsen airfield. From the café terrace, you can watch the small planes. If you want to fly along, register with the flight control in the tower. Often there are pilots there who take guests for a round. Through the "gold villages" Bohlsen and Böddenstedt, you reach Suderburg. At the southern outskirts stands the St. Remigius Church with its 1,000-year-old fieldstone tower. On the way back, you pass it directly - ideal for a break, as St. Remigius is a cycling church, open during the day in summer, and offers drinking water, toilets, rest areas, and useful information. The tour continues to Räber. Halfway to Hösseringen, a mobile phone tower reaches up. Its public viewing platform is located at 32 meters height. From here, you have a wide view over the Suderburger Land. Shortly after the viewing tower, Hösseringen comes into view. The Old School in the heath village invites you to stop. A general store and a café are set up in the former classrooms. From Hösseringen, it's only a few minutes to the Museum Village. In historical buildings, on the open-air grounds, in exhibitions, and at events, the history of living and working in the heath from 1600 to 1900 is shown. The forest history trail Schooten begins at the Museum Village. From Hösseringen, you travel back along Hardau and Hardausee to Suderburg. At Hardausee, you can swim and rent pedal boats. A kiosk offers small meals and drinks. Behind Suderburg, you reach Holxen with its historic water mill. The mill, with its mighty water wheel, is idyllically situated under tall chestnut trees and can be visited from the outside. The next stop is Holdenstedt. From there, it is not far to the center of Uelzen. Here, there is even more to discover, such as the "Path of Stones," St. Marien Church, half-timbered houses, and chapels. Or you can end the bike tour in a relaxed way: at a restaurant, café, or at the Uelzen water park.
