Good for a break if the café in the Glashaus is open. The castle is only accessible with an entrance fee and at certain times. Nice art exhibition and beautiful garden, but nothing for a quick stop. Better to bring some time for the castle.

It's nice when the small paths through the nature reserves are ridden. These are predominantly narrow hiking trails and only suitable for the "experienced". The official Innerste cycle path mostly runs past on the side.
