Roll out of Fleetmark and the windmill at Zierau sets the tone before the Purnitz and Jeetze rivers guide you onward. The route then slips through the Lüchower Landgrabenniederung and into Naturpark Wendland.Elbe, both nature reserves, before looping back to where you started. With 76.6 km ahead, it's 99% paved and 0% unpaved, so tarmac carries you nearly the whole way. A gentle 210 m of climbing keeps things rolling as the landscape shifts around you.
