Ilmenau Riverside Trail
Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway
Due to the special features of the Ilmenau, it was decided to design the cycle path as a nature adventure cycle path. This means that some sections of the route do not run directly on the course of the river, because for environmental reasons, existing paths should be used where possible and little should be built, newly paved or asphalted.
Nevertheless, you don't have to do without comfort when you're on the move. The signage was based on the current recommendations of the ADFC. So that you can rest on the way, benches have been set up and shelters for bad weather. At the shelters there are overview boards that provide information about the cycle path, but also show where you are and where the next resting place is.

Ilmenau Drawbridge, Bardowick
Highlight • Bridge
At the Viti-Furth, the steel bascule bridge from 1965 leads over the Ilmenau. It was inaugurated on 9 April after 8 months of construction
The crossing of the Ilmenau has been at this point at an early stage. According to history, here in 782 Marianus, who taught the Gospel in Bardowick, was slain.
A bridge, however, was first mentioned here in documents in 1059. The medieval engravings by Frese and Schlöpken already show the construction of a bascule bridge.
The last wooden bascule bridge dates back to 1888. It is now mentioned in some written essays that it was rebuilt after its demolition in 1964 in the Technical Open-Air Museum in Hagen (Westphalia) as a museum piece. However, research by webmaster "bardowick.com" has shown that this statement is unfortunately not correct. From a Bardowicker bridge there is nothing known.

Stintmarkt in the historic water district, Lüneburg
Highlight • Historical Site
Similar to salmon, smelts swim into the rivers in late February to spawn in the sandy bottom. They were caught and traded at the smelt market.
Today, Lüneburg's most famous bar and restaurant mile is located on the Stintmarkt. The medieval houses, all of which are very well preserved, offer a fantastic and much-used photo backdrop.
