Tips from the Community
The route from the B214 towards Volkse is a quiet country connection with predominantly good asphalt and little traffic. The section is particularly pleasant because it mostly leads slightly winding through fields and hedges, making it quite sheltered from the wind. Ideal for a relaxed car ride or a quiet bike tour away from the main traffic routes.

The route along the B214 (e.g. in the Nienburg, Sulingen and Celle area) is generally well-developed and an important east-west connection in Lower Saxony. It is generally good to use for rides, but you should regularly expect construction sites, diversions or temporary closures in the area around places like Maasen, Wietze and Sulingen.

It is a well-known local highlight for nature lovers and day trippers in the district of Gifhorn. It is located in the Okeraue nature reserve (NSG) near Didderse and offers one of the most idyllic views of the river course in this region. From the bridge you have a wide view over the gently flowing Oker and the adjacent floodplain landscapes. The combination of the water, the dense bank vegetation and the adjacent horse pastures, which are often located directly next to the bridge, is particularly appealing.
