Roll out of Ellerau and let the mix of paved and unpaved keep things lively. First up is the Wittmoor nature reserve, then the Rodenbeker Quellental, before the Wohldorfer Wald closes in around you. The Oberalsterniederung opens the way home, with 202 m of climbing spread gently across the 61.0 km. Back in Ellerau before you know it.
