Roll out of Hagenow and into the Biosphere Reserve Flusslandschaft Elbe, a nature reserve where the route follows the Sude river. Further along, Schloss Melkof, a castle, marks the turning point before the road leads back to Hagenow. The 70.5 km loop is almost entirely paved, with just a sliver of unpaved surface and 228 m of climbing. It's a gentle spin through river landscape and past a castle, ending where it began.
