A nice place to relax - if you don't have a problem with dogs.

One of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful, route in the Bremen bacon coat. Unfortunately extremely crowded at weekends or when the weather is nice. Handcart tours, skaters, walkers, cars and (racing) cyclists. Don't let yourself be distracted by the beautiful nature ;)

Very nice section for biking with great views. In late autumn there is sometimes some flooding, which makes some paths impassable and where you can get your feet wet.
