The bridge cycle path is a long-distance cycle path of around 314 kilometers in west-northwestern Lower Saxony and Bremen , which connects the Hanseatic city of Bremen and the former Hanseatic city of Osnabrück on two largely parallel routes. This way, this path builds a bridge between the two cities, but its name also stands for the many individual bridges that have to be crossed in the course of the two partial routes.

The 149-kilometer east route runs through Bassum , Twistringen , Barnstorf and Diepholz . The 165-kilometer west route touches Harpstedt , Goldenstedt , Vechta , Lohne , Steinfeld and Damme .

Scenic highlights of the largely flat stretch are the Mittelland Canal , the Dümmer Nature Park , a section of the Hunte , the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park and the city of Bremen. In the rather hilly southern part, the forests of the Dammer Mountains , the Museum of the Varus Battle in Kalkriese , the nature and geopark TERRA.vita and Osnabrück , the city of the Peace of Westphalia, beckon .

The sign symbol shows a stylized cyclist crossing a bridge arch.
