The route around Oldenburg is a 100-kilometer circular cycle path around the city of Oldenburg in north-western Lower Saxony . This path always keeps enough distance from the city so that the character of three very different large landscapes between the lower reaches of the Weser and East Frisia can be experienced. These are the Wesermarsch in the northeast , the Wildeshauser Geest in the south and the Ammerland in the west and northwest . The cycle route, which is well signposted in both directions, spans the city of Oldenburg on the map like a large bike that can be reached at various points through direct connections from the city center. Logically, these specially signposted branch routes are also called “spokes”. They make it possible to start the round tour at different points, to drive it off in sections and, if necessary, to leave it early at another point towards the city center. It is recommended to split the route into two daily stages. A complete circumnavigation of the city in one day is possible for well-trained drivers, especially since the route is mostly on well-developed, mostly paved or asphalt farm roads in accordance with the landscape profile and is completely flat and has little physical fitness.
