You can ride along the former railway line in a very relaxed manner and there are various apple trees to admire along the entire route

The railway line is recommended. Forest soil and laid paving stones alternate, so it is more suitable for comfortable cycling. On information boards there is a lot to read the railway line. For breaks, covered benches are available.

Hoisdorfer Weg – Finkhorster Berg Scenic Route

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A wonderful route, far away from the big roads, which, thanks to good asphalt, is really fun with the racing bike.

November 29, 2022, Brenner Moor Nature Reserve

The Brenner Moor is the largest salt marsh in inland Schleswig-Holstein. The salinity of the salt springs partially reaches that of the North Sea. A jewel of nature but very busy on weekends. Still a real highlight. The crossing is only possible thanks to the laid planks. However, cycling is prohibited

The Brenner Moor is the largest inland salt marsh in Schleswig-Holstein. It is located in the district of Stormarn in the town of Bad Oldesloe in the Trave lowlands and has been declared a nature reserve. What is special about the Brenner Moor are the brine springs that rise from a depth of approx. 500 meters and have their origin in a salt band that presumably stretches from Segeberg via Tralau and Bad Oldesloe to Lübeck. The plant communities and the animal world of the Brenner Moor are shaped in a special way by the unique occurrence of salt springs inland. The salty environment attracts plants that are otherwise only found near the coast, e.g. B. rush (Juncus gerardii) and beach trident (Triglochin maritima). In some places the water has a salinity that corresponds to that of the North Sea. In less saline parts of the nature reserve, reed beds, among other things, grow. https://metropolregion.hamburg.de/kulturlandschaften/4471072/brenner-moor/

Very nice route. Always straight ahead. Well paved path through Grabau, Süllfeld, Nahe, Wakendorf to Henstedt-Ulzburg. Catering on the way only possible in Süllfeld (beer garden, bakery) or Nahe (ALdi, Lidl). However, there should also be a fish smokehouse in Grabau

The diverse landscape north-west of the town of Bad Oldesloe invites you to take a contemplative and, in view of the large number of natural history features, also eventful and informative tours. Several large-scale salt springs rising from great depths of salt domes have created very rare habitats for salt plants (halophytes) and a particularly adapted animal world here inland. The 24-hectare Brenner Moor nature reserve includes the largest inland salt pan in Schleswig-Holstein. The area is accessible by boardwalks. Ten experience stations provide in-depth information on the leaflets provided and encourage further research. The waterlogging of the Wolkenweher Niederung fulfills the goals of the European Water Framework Directive and also the requirements of the Habitats Directive. Source: environmental data.landsh.de

I can highly recommend a hike in the Brenner Moor. After all, it is the largest inland salt marsh moor in Schleswig-Holstein. On your 6-kilometer hike in the north of Bad Oldesloe, you will observe rare bird and plant species and experience complete peace and quiet in some places. Accompanied by a flyer, ten experience stations invite you to explore the nature reserve. In the evening hours, the sunsets offer beautiful reflections in the moor and on the Trave. It is sometimes difficult to say where the moorland ends and the sky begins. https://tourismus-stormarn.de/de/wandern/brenner-moor-rundweg-43
