The nice thing about all railway cycle paths: there is much less up and down than on cycle paths along the road.

Nice to ride. Leads you back to the gravel or the trail you are looking for.

Normally, you would rather ride a "normal" bike or even a road bike here. A small change, however, if you want to ride comfortably with a gravel bike.

The Marschlandbahndammradweg - what a word! - can be ridden very well with a gravel bike. However, you might get bored quite quickly, just going straight ahead over the occasionally bumpy slabs. I like it when you see animals like pheasants and deer to the right and left of the dam. Overall, you should have been here at least once!
