For us it's not a highlight at all, on the main road directly accompanied by many fast cars. And then labeling the whole stretch as a nice route just because of the fast descent we find very misleading for other cyclists. When you think of a route section marked in red, you actually imagine something else.

Solid, wide forest paths, easy to drive on, a little bumpy or fine sand from time to time = then caution is advised. In the middle of the forest there is still a restricted military area! It's hilly up and down.

Here, due to a long phase in which it goes down quickly, there is the possibility of going downhill quickly.

Very nice section. The Halloher Moor is part of a former heath and moor area north of the Segeberger Forest. Unfortunately badly damaged by extensive reforestation and drainage measures. Nevertheless, it is still important as a moor with residual occurrences of rare invertebrate species, which have their northern border in Schleswig-Holstein. Regeneration is required.

Pure forest experience! And there is even a deer hopping in front of the bike.

The stud farm is a little older, but the area still looks very nice! (No LostPlace!)
