Good, standard-compliant cycle route signs near Celle
The range of cycle paths is just as great as the diversity of the landscapes in Lower Saxony. There are over 13,000 km of long-distance cycle paths and regional routes in Lower Saxony, and the state-wide network of long-distance cycle paths is still under construction. However, some routes have already been completed. Incidentally, Lower Saxony also has one of the most popular long-distance cycle routes in Germany, the Weser Cycle Route.

- German fen route - The fen route leads from Papenburg or Leer into the wide and water-rich landscape of southern East Frisia. Characteristic for the route are the extensive fen settlements that were built in the course of the Peatland colonization have arisen. Note on the signposting: Cyclists mostly follow the brown car-free time signs on the fen route. If the bike route deviates from the car route, there are brown intermediate signposts with a bike symbol. For cyclists there is a signposted cross connection from Amdorf to Augustfehn. This divides the fen route and enables two shorter circular routes (signposted with brown intermediate signposts with a bike symbol and the letter "A").
