Tips from the Community
The boardwalk is located in the Stellmoor section of the trail that leads from the Arnesvelde ruin towards Ahrensburg or towards Höltigbaum/Hagen. Depending on the dryness, the boardwalk floats or rests on the moor. You should not cycle here, as you will slip in wet conditions or endanger pedestrians.

Another highlight named 'View of…'. With a gravel bike, you usually don't have the time or desire to look at every view. So keep riding and discover the many other 'Views of…'. Trust me, there are quite a few!

The Höltigbaum has definitely been created as a highlight here on Komoot 30-40 times...

The Bredenbeker Teich is a piece of Hamburg or Stormarn history. People used to vacation in the Walddörfer, and the bathing establishment here was very popular. Until before Corona, there was a great natural outdoor pool at the campsite here. Now people just like to go into the water. The old bathing establishment can still be recognized by an information board and the manor house.

There is hardly a route I prefer to ride. It used to be an insider tip, but now everyone rides here. But I can understand why. It's most beautiful when you ride from the bottom up towards Volksdorf and then on to Lottbeker Stausee.
