Scenically beautiful but difficult to ride. But doable. If you want to go fast, this is the wrong way. If you are reading this tip, you are on the right track to the seals, they are not far away.

An industrial monument, the factory, built in 1873, was in active use with interruptions until 1990. After the factory closed, the building was used as a shopping mall before being converted to its current purpose as the headquarters of the district administration of the Northwest Mecklenburg district.
