It's great that parts of the route and thus also the bridges of the old Plockhorst–Peine railway line [www.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnstrecke_Plockhorst%E2%80%93Peine], which connected Celle and Peine, have become one of the most attractive routes for cycling.

Thanks for the explanation from @Maxe and @Manuuu🌳🚶‍♂️🚲! I think a themed tour should be generated from visiting all the sculptures in one go... 😉

Unfortunately, it's also a road bridge with a lot of traffic.

The legendary "Blue Bridge" is one of the few ways to cross the Lachte River between Lachendorf and Lachtehausen. However, the "romantic" atmosphere is significantly diminished by traffic noise.
