Beautiful corner, quietly located and an absolute highlight due to the steep section down to the stream (pushed or slid down with the rear brake locked). The climb from Toppenstedt coming over the cobblestones is already a challenge.

From Bahlburg to Luhdorf, between fields and forests, and along the Luhe River, you pass the canoe launching point. Those with energy left can also venture into the canal by kayak.
