Roll out of Meßdorf and follow the Milde river before the route skirts the edge of the Arendseer Hochfläche nature reserve. Next comes Herrenhaus Krevese, a manor worth a glance, then the Biese and Uchte rivers keep you company on the way back. With 86.9 km and 239 m of climbing, it stays gentle, and the surface is almost entirely paved. A loop that starts and ends in the same village, passing river, reserve, manor, river, river.
