The small wooden bridge is no longer there. It had become rotten and was replaced at the end of 2024 by a more modern version with white steel girders. Despite all this, you can of course walk or cycle across it and you have a beautiful view of the old railway bridge next to it. A little tip: the best photo moments are there in the late afternoon or early evening, depending on the time of year. Then the setting sun shines through the viaduct. All in all, the route is also and especially a good shortcut to Hamfelde / Lauenburg.

Good to use to avoid the not exactly bike-friendly route through Trittau. Wonderfully shady in summer. Beautifully colorful in autumn.

The Kuckucksberg is only 62 m high and the gradient is easy to manage. Then it goes downhill again at a higher pace towards Möhnsen or Basthorst.
