Tips from the Community
It's just annoying that there are still users who think no one has ever seen it before them - or why does it keep getting added as a highlight and completely clutter up the map?

As is typical on canals, you drive straight ahead without much variation. The path was bumpy in places, then rolled along as if by itself – totally different sections. The bushes weren't trimmed at the time and in some places they were so in the way that you could only drive one behind the other. There are plenty of benches, and on the day we visited (a Saturday in July), it was extremely deserted. This section wasn't the big highlight for me, but maybe a small one 😁

The asphalt is a listed monument. Traces of tank tracks can still be seen on the road. IT'S IMPORTANT NOT TO FORGET!!!!!

Especially in this day and age, we should always remember that human dignity is inviolable. I, born in '76, don't blame myself for such atrocities, but we are to blame for the fact that we are apparently unable to adequately defend our constitution against undemocrats!
