Nice route, shady in summer, unfortunately car traffic has priority, but that is bearable. Gladly more such cycle paths.

The 39-hectare heathland of the Pestrup burial ground contains 531 burial mounds from the late Bronze Age (900–200 BC). It is the largest burial ground in Northern Europe that is still visible. As with the megalithic tombs, the ducal government in Oldenburg also undertook conservation work here. In 1909, the burial ground became state property through government purchase and has since been protected as a natural and cultural monument.

Leaving Wildeshausen, it goes almost 5 km along the Hunte on a gravel path. Watch out for new gravel on it. In Dötlingen you can enjoy a tea, coffee... at the Lopshof or Café Behr on the weekend. Then out of Dötlingen it goes quickly, a short stretch downhill, along the main road on the cycle path to the destination
