The Billewanderweg is really hard to ride with a gravel bike. However, I recommend it because the Bille riverbank is simply beautiful and idyllic.

Pretty view from the bridge of the Bille river and the Corbek stream flowing into the Bille.

The narrow hiking trail leads mostly directly above the Bille river through a beautiful forest... There are frequent magnificent views of the idyllic Bille flowing by.

To the left and right of the path, centuries-old beech trees form an impressive avenue. Their dense canopy of leaves stretches like a church vault over the paths that meander through the Sachsenwald. The forest itself is a relic of a vast primeval forest that stretched from Lower Saxony to the Baltic Sea. Old oak and beech stands still characterize the landscape today.
