Former Railway Embankment Trail

Highlight • Trail

Here is the rampart of a former railway line (Buchholz - Bremervörde railway line). The tracks were dismantled in 2009 after the line had already been abandoned in 1968. A great path has been prepared for pedestrians and off-road cyclists directly on the wall. In connection with this rampart, the viaducts near the Este are also worth seeing.

We were on the Este around Hollenstedt. River valleys are always a pleasure. Beautiful nature, mostly located in the forest. The only thing that was not nice: some of the paths are made of soft sand, it is difficult to walk here.
