Our tip

From Kleinern, as an alternative to the ER 4 through the national park, you can choose the easier route through the Wesebachtal, following the ER 3.

safety instructions

The cycle paths/routes sometimes alternate between asphalted, gravel and/or field/forest paths. Very rare, even on roads with little traffic. The cycle paths/routes can be combined as desired (including ferries and ships) and are signposted on both sides. There are also a few combined cycle and pedestrian paths.
