Beautiful circular tour on flat, low-traffic farm tracks. The route runs clockwise across the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. In 2010, the State Garden Show took place in the Bad Essen Brine Park and at Ippenburg Castle. The Small Lower Saxony Tour can be combined with the Small East Westphalia Tour for a full-day excursion.

Cycle through the North German Plain at a relaxed pace. This tour takes you through beautiful meadows, fields and small forests past castles and palaces to the historic town center of Bad Essen. You can combine this tour with the Small East Westphalia Tour (15.3 km) and cycle along the signposted connecting path "over the border".
