A bridge that was built so that trains can cross the canal. Or ships the railway line. Or cyclists, hikers and female cyclists. Wait... whatever. The riveted historical bridges were renewed, approximately at the beginning of the millennium. A pity, a pity. But hey, they are blue (all)(the bridges) and the Bimmelbahn can zoom over them at full speed.

A pretty wooden bridge over the small stream... the imposing tree right next to the bridge is impressive.

The Elbe-Lübeck Canal is worth a trip in itself. I recommend taking a trip from Neu Lankau or Berkenthin to Lübeck.

It's not the prettiest section; the trees are too tall for me. If you drive further north, from Mölln onward, it gets more beautiful.
