Frequently asked questions about biking in Niedersachsen
Which bike tours can I easily reach by train?

Enter your location, for example Göttingen, and get shown tours that are well reachable by train.

Then you only see bike tours that you can reach without a transfer via a direct connection. Additionally, current timetables and connections are clearly displayed on an interactive map.
Which bike tours can I find on NaturTrip Niedersachsen?
On NaturTrip Niedersachsen you find round and point-to-point bike tours for every level and every bike type, including touring bike, mountain bike, road bike and gravel bike. There are both easy and challenging bike tours. All routes come from regional tourism organisations and are checked, well signposted and run on official bike paths. This gives you reliable and high-quality tour suggestions.
Are there also point-to-point bike tours (A to B) reachable by train?
Yes, NaturTrip Niedersachsen also offers point-to-point bike tours from A to B by train. You can easily reach the starting point by regional train and take your bike with you. At the end of the tour there are suitable train connections back to your starting point. This way you can plan bike tours without a return trip and are more flexible than by car, since you don't have to return to the parking lot.
Which travel modes does NaturTrip support in Niedersachsen?
In Niedersachsen NaturTrip lets you choose between the following travel modes: car, bike, public transport (bus & train), bike + public transport (Bike & Ride), walking.
This way you'll find round and point-to-point bike tours that match your preferred way of getting around – whether climate-friendly by bus & train, by bike, or combined.
What does "bike + public transport" (Bike & Ride) mean? You ride the first or last leg of your journey by bike and take it with you on bus or train. That way you can also reach remote trailheads without a car – ideal when the nearest stop is a bit farther from the starting point.
You can change the travel mode any time in the filter – NaturTrip then only shows tours that are realistically reachable with your preferred mode.
