Although there's generally little traffic on the road, I still prefer the bike path between towns. The cars zip by at an unpleasantly fast pace. The bike path is also very easy to ride. The asphalt is smooth and well-maintained. The number of root bumps is very small (it feels like one at the beginning and one at the end), and they're not very steep.

A great route to get to or from Bergedorf. It can be a bit busier on sunny summer weekends.

Rare animals such as moor frogs and kingfishers live here. The area is also archaeologically significant - traces of reindeer hunters have been found here.
