Tips

February 6, 2023

Cycling

The name "Witte Berge" is a reminder that around 300,000 years ago, light-colored sand was carried from the Rhine into the Üfter Mark and moved further and further eastward with the wind. The area only became overgrown in the 19th century.

Very beautiful dunes along the way, next to an information board that tells the story of their formation.

Cycling

Pure nature with wild animals left to their own devices. Since there is hardly any elevation to overcome, the tour is easy to manage
