Unfortunately, the railway barriers have been dismantled. Anyone riding on the railway line has to navigate around barriers at every crossing and wait for car traffic.

Actually not a real gravel highlight, as the path is too smooth and boring. Nevertheless, it is better to ride here than on the road and you can make quick progress to get back to gravel paths or single trails. There is a lot to see on the right and left and you pass through some villages. The old train stations, which are now residential buildings, for example in Hoisdorf, are also wonderful.

A remarkable specimen of a winter linden tree right next to the mill... On the accompanying sign, the linden tree itself tells its story.

The Starbucks on Mönckebergstraße is located in a historic building (address: Barkhof 3) near the town hall. Formerly a public reading room, it is now notable for its coffered ceilings and its combination of coffeehouse and cultural space, with a co-working space on the upper floor being a particular highlight. The building, also known as the "Kulturcafé," occupies a prominent location on the shopping street, offering a view of the bustling activity.

Beautiful 🐐❤️ Here you can watch the goats in a peaceful setting. A little further on, there's a feeder where you can get goat food for €0.50. The goats like to come to the fence.

Very beautiful! A stork often sits there, and right next door there's a wonderful goat enclosure.
