The bridge is clear, and there's no more construction expected for the foreseeable future. I prefer driving up the switchbacks. I'm a mountain donkey, after all.

Great route – easy to ride on a road bike. On a clear day, you can see Lübeck's skyline (7 towers).

The Evangelical Church of Zarpen is a brick Gothic church in Zarpen, begun in 1221, which was built in the 13th century as the parish church of this early medieval main town and for the surrounding villages of the former Reinfeld Monastery in what is now the Nordstormarn district.

Fantastic route out of Lübeck, little to no traffic (at least on Sunday mornings) and good asphalt.

In 2024, the wooden bridge will unfortunately be completely closed for several months.
