The section along the B3 was renovated from mid-October to the end of November 2025. As part of the construction work, the cycle path was completely repaired and resurfaced with new asphalt. This significantly improved both traffic safety and riding comfort. Previously existing cracks and unevenness caused by tree roots were completely eliminated, so the route is now in much better condition.

I rode there on October 3, 2025, and the condition isn't great. I wouldn't ride there without suspension. I was riding gravel there, and a good forest path is better. The sign "Caution: Damaged Cycle Path" doesn't really help.

Good and should be used, the cars there drive amok

The cycle path along the L298 between Belsen and Winsen runs on a well-paved section through the wooded area near Walle. Protected by tall trees, it runs parallel to the country road and offers pleasant shade and a peaceful, natural atmosphere thanks to the dense vegetation. The path is ideal for cyclists who prefer a relaxed and safe route while enjoying the green surroundings.

Surface is getting worse and by 2024 it will only be possible to drive on it very carefully and slowly.

Here in the forest lies the memorial stone of the legendary Bruderbaum (Brother Tree) from the time of the Saxon Wars. The spot is designed as a resting place with a table and benches, and the "Bruderbaum" memorial stone stands nearby. Deep in the Waller Forest, east of the small village of Walle, lies a place where the past still whispers – the Bruderbaum (Brother Tree). Nestled between moss-covered trunks and the gentle rustling of leaves, the tree itself no longer stands here, but rather the memory of a story passed down through generations. The story goes that once two brothers, driven to opposing sides by the storm of history, met in battle. In the middle of the battlefield, they recognized each other – but too late. The fatal blow had long since been struck. From this tragic entanglement came the name of the place, which has since become a symbol of the strains of human bonds brought about by war and hatred. Today, a simple memorial stone marks the spot where the Brother Tree once stood – a silent witness to history. Surrounded by forest paths, the square invites you to linger. Those who pause here may still sense a hint of the ancient legend that makes this place so special – a place of remembrance, of warning, of quiet reconciliation.

Here in the Waller Forest is the legendary "Bruderbaum" (Brother Tree) from the time of the Saxon Wars. A rest area with a table and benches is also located at this spot, and the "Bruderbaum" memorial stone stands nearby. The Bruderbaum (Brother Tree) in the Waller Forest near Winsen (Aller) is a place steeped in history with a deep-rooted legend. It is located east of the Walle district in a wooded area. According to tradition, the tree commemorates a tragic event: Two brothers, fighting on opposing sides of a war, met in battle and only recognized each other at the moment of their fatal collision. This story symbolizes the strain on family ties caused by warlike conflicts and gave the tree its name. Today, a memorial stone marks the site of the former "Bruderbaum" (Brother Tree). The spot is designed as a rest area with seating and serves not only as a destination for cyclists but also as a quiet place of remembrance of regional significance.

A piece of German history. It's worth a visit if you're interested in what happened here. You can get goosebumps at the sight of the graves.
