Really a nice stretch of cycle path. The cleanliness of the city could be improved, be careful in the autumn.

Here you have a wonderful view of the Steinhuder Meer! The beautiful wooden bridge leads to a small beach with beach chairs. However, you should get here very early to really be able to enjoy this view in peace.
