Also suitable for road bikes. A bit busier during normal dog walking times, but otherwise quiet.

What irony! On Freedom Street, someone converted a former border fence, complete with barbed wire, into a chicken coop. Well, there's probably nothing more effective for locking people up! Surely this fence itself was dismantled, which is ultimately illegal. Otherwise, it would have been public property.

One of the first opportunities to train "mountain". On the other side, beautiful descent to Malkendorf

During the GDR era, we used the Lübeck-Schlutup border crossing to Selmsdorf many times to visit our relatives who lived along the Baltic coast. I remember the oppressive atmosphere and the pounding heart when you drove down this road and were about to be checked by the GDR border guards. The fact that you can ride a bike here today in the sunshine is a great blessing.
