    Sehr schöne Radrunde durch viel Natur und idyllische Seenlandschaft. Am Gut Sunder (Einkehrmöglichkeit) haben wir die Radtour unterbrochen und sind die Hüttensee-Runde gewandert (4,5 km). Bei der Weiterfahrt lohnt sich der kurze Abstecher zur Meissendorfer Heide (Kapellenweg). (Anm.: Mit der Tourenbeschreibung oben konnten wir nichts anfangen. Die Radtour ist nicht ausgeschildert, GPS empfohlen.)

    Wir sind zu Pfingsten die Tour gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, sowie von und bis Winsen (sonntags guter Parkplatz am Supermarkt am Ortseingang) gefahren. Sehr schöne Strecke. Guter Mix von Wald, Feld und Dörfern. Mit Kindern und drei größeren Pausen (Schleuse, Waldcafe und Spielplatz in Wolthausen) allerdings insgesamt 7,5 Stunden benötigt.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour. Wir haben 3 Stunden gebraucht. (38,8 km). Leicht zu fahren. Der letzte Teil ab Wittbeck allerdings keine Fahrradwege sondern Straßen. Aber trotzdem: sehr die Mühe wert.

    Eine interessante,landschaftlich reizvolle Tour, die man in Bergen abkürzen kann(wenn man sich die Nordschleife bis Beckingen sparen will.),um dann über Hagen,Wohlde wieder auf den vorgegebenen Track zurückzukommen.
