CYCLING VACATION IN THE LÜNEBURG HEATH

The Lüneburg Heath is one of the most beautiful destinations in Germany for a vacation by bike. The well-developed network of bike paths with a total length of over 2,000 kilometers offers perfect conditions for a cycling vacation with the whole family. The bike paths through the Lüneburg Heath can be combined into many charming routes that offer just the right thing for every taste and every level of “sporting ambition”.
In the Heide, there is something new for cyclists to discover around every bend in the road, because the landscape is varied and always different. The range of possibilities for cycling vacations in the Lüneburg Heath extends from half-day cycling tours between 10 kilometers and 40 kilometers to cycling tours for which you should plan a full day, and attractive multi-day cycling routes.

Vacation by bike: Explore Lüneburg Heath by bike
The Heide half-day bike tours are ideal for those who want to “experience” several routes during their vacation and have enough time in between for pure relaxation. Get on your bike in the morning, be back in the early afternoon and then end the day at the Heide-Hotel Landhaus Höpen with culinary delights, relaxation in the Heide garden or a few relaxing laps in the hotel swimming pool – that’s what a perfect vacation day in the Heide with cycling and wellness could look like.
For half days on the bike, for example, the signposted theme tours are suitable, where even less experienced cyclists do not get “out of breath”. Thanks to the relatively flat course, the routes are also a good choice for pure “pleasure cyclists” and families with children. Complete the charming bike routes without haste and explore the Lüneburg Heath at your leisure – that’s the motto. During your bicycle tours, also look to the left and right of the path and you will be amazed at what you discover along the way: Wide expanses of heath, lush green meadows and forests, babbling brooks and romantic river meadows, for example. But you can also reach historic towns and cultural sites such as the Heideklöster monasteries via the Lüneburger Heide bike paths.
