Nordheide (44 km) Radtour 4

This challenging cycle tour also starts at the Bispingen tourist information office. After approx. 9 km via Borstel and Volkwardingen, you reach Sellhorn, which was first mentioned in a document in 1231. The farm was acquired by the Hanoverian state in 1850 and has been the seat of the Sellhorn Lower Saxony Forestry Office since 1860. The forestry office manages 14,000 hectares of forest.

Now it's off to Wilsede to Hannibal's grave. At the beginning of the 20th century, friends of the heath in Hanover saw the painting "Hannibal's Grave" by Eugen Bracht in the museum. When they walked through the heath shortly afterwards, past the group of stones and junipers (Billungstein), they were struck by the similarity to the painting. They all agreed: Hannibal's grave in the heath. The name spread quickly and is still used today.

From there, the path leads to Wilsede. The route continues via Meningen and Wesel, on to Wehlen and Ehrhorn. Past the forest adventure center, the route follows through the forest via Einem and Niederhaverbeck to Tütsberg. Perhaps the Heidschnucken sheep are at the sheepfold there. Via Behringen it is not far to the end of the tour in Bispingen.
