Roll out of Drübeck and let the route carry you into the Oker- und Eckertal nature reserve, then on through the Schimmerwald forest. The Ecker river keeps you company before the Okertal nature reserve opens up, and Wasserburg Zilly's castle is your last stop before the road turns home. Of the 77.2 km, almost all is paved, with a small unpaved share and 407 m of climbing along the way.
