Roll out of Neetze and the road stays paved the whole way, 80.3 km of it. First comes Schierbruch und Forellenbachtal, a nature reserve, then the Barnstedt-Melbecker Bach reserve. On you go through the Lüneburger Ilmenauniederung mit Tiergarten reserve and past Bennerstedt, another reserve, with 374 m of climbing spread along the way. Then it's back to Neetze.
