Roll out of Büchen and the Stecknitz-Delvenau-Niederung nature reserve opens the ride, with the Büchener Sander reserve close behind. Next comes Forstgut Bergholz, a manor on the route, before the Talhänge bei Göttin reserve and the Schaalelauf reserve round things off. It's 72.4 km with 181 m of climbing, almost all on paved surface, and it ends back in Büchen.
